1. That's an understatement!!!

2. I still don't see it hooking. I can't keep the wheels under my car in 1st or 2nd already.
I know Tom even has problems with 3rd gear traction and has thought about trying a Zetec final drive. (Though it only lowers your torque factor a mere 5% so it's not really going to help much anyway! )

3. With a good launch and "stockish" size tires you could go definitely 2.2 or better. (LSD, flywheel, motor mounts, etc, etc are a big bonus of course)
With larger then stock tires (I'm using 215/50-16 as my base) your 60' times and launches will be considerably slower in comparison.

As for the engine holding a 100 shot wet. That is a considerable shock to the system unlike where with a VCN-2000 setup you could custom tune all your nitrous and fuel curves via laptop.

The big time wear and possible failure would be from the sudden shock. Remember nitrous normally kicks out more wheel TQ then the HP rating of the shot used!
