For a big nitrous hit, I'm thinking mechanical secondaries. I tend to think you could use some fuel system upgrades... a lean-out condition would not be good
Not sure a Holley 'street' pump can keep up.
About the backfiring... under full or part throttle? Where is the timing set at? What is your fuel pressure? What heat range plugs do you run, and at what gap?

V-8... First things first.. A 200 hp shot on 92 octane fuel is not the best thing to do to all those very expensive parts in your motor... You are living dangerous. You should at the least be using 110 octane race fuel. I myself like the HP series mechanical carbs.Your converter may not be enough... 750 is a good size and work well on 351's...good luck!!!!

I vote for a 750 dp'r mechanical carb and a timing retard ignition box with the 92 octane fuel. It'll work fine if you pull 6 degrees of advance out of it when the n2o is energized. Good luck and welcome to M&M V-8!

9 psi is great! Can't run a Holley carb on much more than that without blowing the needles off the seats and flooding it out. Sparkplug choice and gap look good too.

In another post, you'd mentioned a DUI unit. Those are notorious for cross-firing . Had a look at the condition of the cap/rotor/coil assembly recently?

I run the same ignition box as you do (MSD 6AL). I also run the billet MSD distributor along with it, which is what I'd recommend replacing the DUI unit with. I've locked out my timing at 34*; even when up to running temp in the hottest part of the year, my Ford Motorsport high torque mini-starter never has any problem cranking it (as locked out timing can sometimes cause slow hot cranking).

If you're experiencing ignition problems, I'd suspect either the DUI or insufecient voltage to the MSD box. MSD does need alot of voltage to operate properly

Don't worry about it, you'll get there. And then you'll be worried about breaking something. Until you stage then you won't care if it all goes to hell as long as you win.

V-8, where are you from In Turkey?
You mentiond a dragway in Antalya. I have been to Antalya, some time ago (I think it was 1993). I was at the city but I didnt know they had a dragway. Nice place. Very friendly locals. Everyone was crazy about guns and roses at the time... One girl I met learned english from watching MTV. Amazing.
