Suggestions for initial hit?

I have a 96 6speed Z with a nearly stock engine, just recently had new rings, bearings, oil pump, timing chain installed. It has some larger Crane valve springs and Gold 1.6RRs.
Other than that, it's really a stock POS that I got for $500

I am installing an 8.5 rear w/3.73 and some 315/60/15 MT Drag radials. I have a 35# co2 bottle that has been converted to no2. I have a NOS wet plate, and a micro throttle switch. I have a Innovate WBo2.

I want to run e85 and maybe a 150 shot, where do I start?

I've read the last 10 pages of n20 tech, and know to get the TR6 plugs and maybe the Mallory 685box? What else do I need to do? What pills will work with e85? What fuel pressure? I need an AFPR, which brand? I have plenty of LS7 fuel pumps, so I was thinking 2 intank, maybe turn on 2nd with the no2? I really don't want to buy headers just yet, probably will just gut the cats. This is just a stupid project, so I'm not looking for perfection, just something for fun a few times.

Thanks, Christian

Seems like an unusual approach:

-30" tires are going to be a tight fit on a 4th Gen. They will make your 3.73's feel like 3.23's.

-why lug around the bulk of a 35# pressure tank? With the weight of the tank and the nitrous you are carrying about 40# of excess weight.

-it there's one thing nitrous needs, its "big" exhaust".

-why do you feel you need an AFPR? You select the fuel jets based on the operating pressure of the system. If all you are doing is going with a double pump system through the stock fuel lines, you will want to hold the fuel pressure at the stock 43.5psi (measured with no vacuum compensation line).

The wheels/tires were kinda laying around. They actually fit with the 8.5 rear very well. The NO2 tank was also just laying around, and I figure it's weight is ok over the right rear, no? I want to run e85, I thought that I needed to compensate for the stoich with a little more FP, am I wrong here? I agree with the exhaust and all your suggestions, just trying to have a little "cheap" fun.

My dad just wants a 57 chevy like http://www.easyrods.com/ or http://www.chevyrods.com/default.asp

We were just looking to have a little fun with stuff we had. There's a brand new e85 pump down the road, we figured we wouldn't have to retard timing with it and a 150 shot?

just get a cutout for the n20. leave the cats in my opinion. Pick up a window switch, Fpss, blow down tube.
Dont think your going to need stand alone fuel for a 150 hit. Especailly since you ll be running e85 already.
No need for a adj fuel pressure regulator.
