no you have brought up a good topic and I am glad you did. DD hit it on the head Nos or Not. you just can't have best of both worlds..I understand about the extra 150 shot in a grudge race but even at a 150 shot the engine prep work such as, ring gap, lope speration on cam, tighter converter and a higher gear,we can get into many other things but I think you get the point.. what I mentioned above will cause you to lose a good bit on the motor side of the run...and its mandatory minimum stuff for running NOS effective and efficent or you run a great chance of hurting your equipment with not a lot of ET there to gain to start with
understand Big CI engines with exotic Big chief heads etc...Can handle 200hp shot and down and be a little more forgiving..in other words you can cheat it up a little on the cam etc...as long as you stay small on the NOS hit...with that said your 505ci is not considered a large ci engine, your also running conventional heads so you really need to treat it as a large small block IMO, When it comes to NOS..Again ( jmo)
If I were you since you mentioned N/T I assume you are setting up some grudge races...right ??? If so I would concentrate on being all HP and put more effort on losing weight and learning to conceal the weight loss and swear its 3800lbs no mater what !!!!!!! 8)
