Default Nitrous 1/4 mile help.

Hey guys. I have a question for you guys, who have more exp with nitrous. I have done a few mods to my 98 C5 A4. They are all listed in my signature. Well I went to the track tonight and ran a 12.019 1/4 mile. I was very happy with my time, but was thinking of going with the juice. I was thinking 75-100 shot. I was wanting to know if you guys know about what improvements I might see with adding the juice???

Thanks guys I really appriciate your thoughts. I have looked all over the internet, and just get no true answers. Thank you again.

Well, it would definately get you into the elevens. I'd expect a 100 shot to add about 85-90 HP at the rear wheels and probably cut up to .5 second off your quarter mile time. That assumes you have a good tune and the nitrous works well with your cam and set up, and that you can put the power on the ground during launch (probably, given the rear tires you are using.

You don't mention whether you have a stock short block or not. If so, you'll be really stressing the stock LS1 -- I'd start saving for a built short block if you go this route.
