This may sound crazy, but I'm juggling the idea of adding a 2nd nozzle to spray an additional 35hp, activated by a button, for top end pull on the strip. I'll be running 110 octane fuel for the rest of the season if I go this route. What would the pros/cons of this setup be in comparison to just getting a nitrous mastermind to progressively bring on the power?

Waste of money adding a second stage, just take a 125 shot all at once.
Even with exceptional tuning and race gas, running that additional 35 shot on top of the 100 is going to be extremely stressful on a stock engine.
This is true. Blowing up a motor with 18K miles is a bit of a bummer. I wonder if anyone has a blown block for sale for me to build so I wont feel so stupid when I'm on the tow truck.

I really like your time on the 100 shot man, Im looking to run about the same with my 100 shot. I would say just bump it up and get it tuned for a 125, thats what im looking to do. Got any pics of your setup?
Here's my thinking -- big shots are especially dangerous at lower RPMS, because you're spraying the same amount of nitrous/fuel for half the revs, plus the added factor that the engine is under higher load at lower RPMs. So I was thinking... some people have risked a 150 shot that kicks on for their entire window... why not, instead, run a 200 progressive or staged shot? Safer, and more power.
Am I crazy here?
To the OP, I think its a cool idea... sure a 125 might be fun, and cool, but if you wanna do it, do it! I would argue that its definitely safer, and personally for me, thats a huge concern (I'm about to go triple-check my dyno tune wiring today before filling the bottle for the first time, for example, lol)

Actually, I do. My gf just did an impromptu photoshoot for her photography class. I'll post a few here.

I try and keep my motor in the stratosphere before I spray, but sometimes, I get on it around 4k. I have no issues with tire spin in any gear, but any bigger shot down low is asking for trouble. It looks like I have some decisions to make.
Just spray a bigger shot (150 or under) with a good tune. Many have proven that up to 150 shot is ok for our engines, as long as you get a good tune.
I've been running a 150 (38 fuel / 67 N2O) since last September.
Had window switch problems and then controller problem, so I haven't got to run it for time yet with nitrous.
I'm using a UTEC with a professional tune, and all the safety equipment there is.
So far I've gone through 3 bottles on the 150, and still running good.
Hope to get a new Dyno run soon and double check the UTEC tune, then get it out to the track and see what happens.

I did all of the install myself. Yours however, is clean as hell. I may take a few cues from your setup this winter. First, I'm gonna need another bottle. I've been suffering from huge pressure loss this summer.
