We run 114 race gas when we use the bottle on our BBC 632. But a clear understanding of how hard nitrous is on parts also come into play.No way do we run the bottle from over 2,500 out the back door.In fact the button and how long the nitrous is run is on a timer.Mid lap using nitrous of only .002 netted in the 1/8 4.50's@ 150 mph in a RED.
I disagree it's hard to play catch up.In my career I can tell you a number of times I lost to being mph'er.

I totally agree with Cobalt in that 800 hp on a stock block is risky best case or not.
