How big of a shot to get into the 12's?
Im trying to decide on what size shot to go with. Im definately limiting myself to a 75 or 100 dry shot. I really want to stay with a lower hp shot for simplicity, safety and traction. (I have the stock 16" wheels with new tires and dont really want drag radials yet)
So can a 75 shot get me into the 12's considering potential traction problems?
Also... I know I will need definately colder plugs... but do I really need to retard the timing on a 75 or 100 dry shot?
Any help appreciated.

yes it can. 10hp = .1 in the 1/4. so, most run in the 13.30 - 13.60 range stock. on a 99 TA i had for three weeks, i put a 150 on it completely stock. it went 12.05. on the black formula, i went 11.97 @ 117 completely stock.
you won't need to retard the timing on a 75-100 dry shot.Cold Air Intake, Muffler Delete, Vinci High Performance Dual Valve Springs, Hardened Pushrods, Yella Terra 1.85 Rockers, Some Hydropdipped Stuff, Strut Tower Brace, Some SS Badges, boost/vacuum gauge, fuel pressure gauge, some checkered stripes, drilled/slotted rotors, ZL1addons Stealth wickerbill, Ruxifey LED side markers

Yes you should be able to hit 12's with a 75 shot of NX.........
Remember differant manufactures rate different......NX rear wheel H.P.......NOS flywheel H.P.
Timing and plugs will be fine up to 100hp dry.Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!

Do I need to worry about changing spark plug gap too for a 75 shot?
Im getting a kit from Harris Speed works, a sudden impact single nozzle dry kit. The site claims hp rating is at the RWHP.

for any nitrous application, you should regap to .035". while they are out, you might as well get TR6 plugs.

Hey Your On The Right Path, I Should Have Bought A Nx Kit Right After I Bought Drag Radials, 150 Shot Would Do Nice Right Now

If you can, get a progressive controller. Especially if you plan on going over a 100 shot. You talk about a 75 shot now. Trust me, when you put the 75 on you'll want more. 100 shot you'll want more,125 shot you will be addicted and want more . Before you know it you'll be running a 150 shot tryin' to figure out were to get a stronger bottom end to handle the 2 stage 300 shot you ordered, lol. I know I might get flamed for this, but the 'sudden impact' of nitrous is very hard on the drive train. Most people don't use a progressive controller until 200+ horsepower, but I went through 3 trannys with a 150 shot( it was a Mustang though)
Enjoy the giggle gas,

how would the t-56 hold with a 150 shot on the street...would the 10 bolt have issues also?

pretty good. 10 bolt won't have any issues unless you present them upon it. basically, you do 5k rpms dumps with DRs and you are asking for issues.
