Default nitrous to HP question......

Don't know if this is a noob question and comon sense but I am a allmotor guy sowhat do I kno about juice but here it goes... askin for a friend.. is there any kind of table or rough estimate of how much horsepower or torque a shot adds? Like a 50 shot adds 20hp? or every 5 of notrous equals 1 hp... **keep in mind those numbers were just thrown together in no way is it what i think it is**

any input on this would help...the story is my boy wants to put a 100shot on his motor... he is runng a sleeved 84mm LS/V with 9:1 and I am telling him to boost but he is hardheaded... so he wants to spray.. so i am tryna figure out what kinda number he would be making so i can show him it is not worth it.. at least I dont think it is.. I have looked though various sites at dyno graphs and have yet to see a motor with 9:1 compression on nitrous... so thanks again

with a hundred shot he will get about 50 to 60 hp to the wheels what kind of kit is he going to use

Might wanna consult a thermodynamics/chemistry handbook...
You could prob get a good estimate on how much power it will make by comparing the energy/mole of gasoline vs nitrous....
