Nitrous. Biggest shot for a 318

My usual suggestion is go until it blows up, then back it off 50hp...

150 shot

.058N, .052F, 6psi, 900 bottle pull at least 8 degrees timing.

That's where I would start. Here's a couple decent places to get a baseline tune up.

If you start with a N jet for a certain HP and step up the N jet, that increases the potential hp.

Approximate sizing of N jet for an HP.
75 = .041
100 = .047
125 = .053
150 = .058

I go the other way, take fuel away until the car car slows down, then back up one jet size. Then start dialing timing back in until it slows, back out one degree. Watch the plugs for speckling/detonation.

If you aren't familiar with juice, I would start with a 75ish shot and tune it. Step up once you get the procedure down. It's harder to hurt your stuff with a 75 shot. If you run it real rich, that's as bad as lean.

Run decent fuel, race gas at that level isn't required, just get good premium level fuel, 93 or 94 is better than our pump swill.

If you have an A/F meter even better! That will tell you if it's fat or lean.

That system works well also, and I concur about not running too rich either. That is where I had problems, when I started. I thought I was running lean and hurting parts, when I was actually too rich. I use the "robietherobot" site to get my hp numbers. I didn't suggest jet sizes, as I have a fogger system.
We got rained out last night, so will see what next Tue brings.

PS: I now have 28 n jets, 27 f jets, Fuel pressure is 6.0, starting nitrous pressure is 950-1,000 and drops to about 900 at the end of the run. Timing is fixed at 17 degrees. Car weighs 3250
