I think some guys are running a 200 shot. Get it dyno tuned after you get it to make sure you are good. Get a wideband.

the 2004's have cast pistons, most dont recommend running a 200 shot, 150 at most. The cast pistons dont do well with nitrous. You want to make sure the tune is dead on. I would recommend having a fire extinguisher on hand as well as you never know. Having said all of this I run a 200 shot with my 2004

These V10's love nitrous. The torque curve is insane when on the juice. Some see around 800rwtq with a 200 shot. I dyno'd 741rwtq running rich.

Here is my dyno graph with a 200 shot. You for sure do not want to run lean on the juice. This will result in very bad things for your engine.

And I will tell you this if you are running one 10 pound bottle and you run like me, that bottle goes VERY fast, you will get about five 1/4 mile hits. Right now mine is getting another bottle installed so I am not having to fill up about every other day like I was. You also want to make sure and get bottle warmers as you want to make sure that bottle pressure is what it needs to be at.
