Nitrous on this combo? - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

widarsson · 09-22-2008, 04:11 AM

I´m thinking of adding nitrous to my engine but I have concerns about my bottom end. It´s a 1988 Camaro with 2 bolt 350.

I have stock cast crank, stock rods and hyper FT pistons with moly rings.
Rebuilt with new bearings all over.

Other mods are:
XFI268 cam
Brodix IK180 heads
HSR intake and 58mm TB
Headers and free flowing dual 2.5" exhaust
upgraded fuel pump, DUI ingnition parts

Estimated hp now is in the range of 375-400.

Looking into a NOS 05151 wet system and would like to run a 100hp shot in the 4000-6000 rpm range with the proper safety equipment like fuel pressure switch, lower ignition etc.

Do you think this will fairly safe or shall I forget it right away?

Thanks!

The next thing your going to have to worry about would be the tranny and rear end, if they are still stock

Thanks!

The tranny is a rebuilt/stronger 700R4 and my rear end is a 9-bolt 3.27 in good shape.
We´ll see how long they last
