Boost + nitrous...How much of each?

Well now that i finally have some daily drivers i want to quit driving the car quite as much.

My plans are to put nitrous back on the car this summer, i plan on going with a TNT F2 kit and spraying the entire 250 shot(stock bottom end). Yeah i know, dont even say it. I plan on doing this just to see how long she holds.(same thing with my rear end, 230k miles of pure abuse from a 6spd and still holding)

I know it will blow, its just a matter or when, and i want to build my old motor twin power adder car. Nitrous and a s/c. I havent decided exactly on what s/c i want to use but i would like to push over 18+ psi, intercooled of course.

My biggest question is that i would like the motor to be semi-reliable with twin power adders, im gonna be sinking alot into it so i want it to not break.

Now from what ive heard its a PITA to tune boost and nitrous to work together. Is this true? If so, is there any way to run a 200+ shot of nitrous while still pushing 18-20+ psi, and not have it take a dump every 3 weeks?

Lets here your ideas on how it should work BTW I have access to a dyno and an extremely competent tuner

What the hell is your HP goal. If its under 1500 which Id hope it is, why do you need two PA's? Just put two T76's on a stout aftermarket ~430 cube SBC and you will be at or over that goal. Then maybe spray 50-75 off the line to get the turbos going and cool stuff off if you really want to use both.

Lots of advantages to the DPA route to ultra-high hp. You can use relatively small heads and a moderate cam. Along with the blower that gives you more hp than you can use on the street. Bolt on the sticky tires and go to track, crack open that bottle and yee-haw!!!

As far as an answer to the original question: sure. Use good parts, have amondo fuel system, and plan to use race gas when spraying.

True, but wouldnt a "mild" street mannered 430ci with ~30psi from two bigass Tbos make hella HP and be still mild mannered on the street?

I guess it would just be even more mild mannered with both, but seems like it would be a lot harder on parts.

I think it's going to be a lot easier to build the DPA setup. Not cheap in either case, but probably less expensive as well. Maybe just because I am more familiar with it though.
