Default Built GSR help ZEX w/Boost?

I have several questions TR if you can help me without bashing my lack of knowledge. First is i have a gsr with new rods, pistons, and new valvetrain. I want to run between 16-20psi with my current set up. I also have a zex direct port nitrous kit on the car which is adjustable to 250.

1.would it be safe with the right tune to just run a 100 shot in the last bit of my 3rd and 4th gears to get to the end of the track, or run the nitrous at the begining of my gears to build the boost faster and put a pressure switch in the charge pipe to kill nos when the boost is over like 10psi.

2. I also have a msd sci box or a msd 6al with the 2step. which one should i go with? and if you say 6al what is the ideal pills for the two step as far as redline for the car with the ferrea valvetrain and the two step launch control. Keep in mind i have lcon traction bars and a blox drag coilover set up.

3. back to the nos again, I need to advance timing two degress to run nos 100 shot. if i run the nos with the boost, does the two degrees go across the board or is it going to be two degrees more then what my boost set up requires.

I dont have anything else right now, but im sure I will soon. On a side note while im using an ebay turbo for now, if you could explain how 20psi from one turbo can make 50 more hp than 20psi from a different turbo.

you do not need nitrous. I dont know of any turbo honda that uses nitrous at the track. get a proper tune/tire/tranny setup and you will be fine at the track.

you got your answer
You didnt let us know your compression/what kind of pistons/rods/fuel injectors/tune
turbos come in different sizes(different size compressor wheels, turbines, etc) thats why.
They compress air from your exhaust, the bigger the turbo the more compressed air that enters/exits. Meaning more power(usually). Since the air is compressed you can fit more of it in each cylinder for the combustion process. Combustion is just what it sounds like something burning. Fire needs oxygen to burn, more oxygen the bigger the fire = more power.

I Got My Answer As Far As The Turbo Nitrous Goes And Ive Been Reading Other Places People Use Nos To Get The Turbo To Spool Faster. I Have Supertech Pistons With Nitrate Coat 8.5 To 9.0 To 1, Ferrea Valve Train, And Eagle Rods. No One Has Answered My Msd Question Though. Right Now Im Running A Medium Size Ebay Turbo. I Believe The 63 Ar Or Something Like That With The 3" Intake Side

Im all for useing the nitrous to get it out of the hole. Have to get your set up perfect for launch and come out of the hole nasty on the bottle and the pressure switch is an awesome way to kill it.
I currently have a customer/friend Im trying to convince to do the same.

only use the digital6 if anything.

for that size turbo, you do not need nitrous.

my car gets out of the whole just fine w/a gt4294 without nitrous.
