Do I dare try a little more squeeze? If so any tips on nos/ fuel jetting and fuel press.

shaffiroff builds some pretty stout engines....yours is prob well in the 600-700 hp range without the nos....I have a plate system with 300 hp pills in....WOOO HOOO....your fogger is it 1 stage or how many stages?
