I agree, 50hp you can barely feel in a decent v8.

you'll get bored of 50HP really quick. There is no set point as to where a motor will blow up... Nitrous won't kill your motor detonation or too much power for the parts will. So long as your tune is good your motor will easily survive a 150 shot ...unless you're already making a ton of HP on those cast parts...

Make sure you have a good tune on the car and 150 won't be a problem. Pull timing, run 2 step colder plugs, good gas, and read the plug after a run.
