Re: Nitrous on a L98
my 305 held up to 10+ bottles of 125-150+ shots for a couple years and never quit not even before i swapped to a 350. opened the old 305 up and it was clean as a whistle no issues i could find what so ever.

If you do it right 150 shot won't hurt anything. But be carefull that stuff is like crack. Once you spray it you can't stop.

Re: Nitrous on a L98
noob question what would you change (engine wise) in order to make sure you dont blow up the motor, pistons?

Re: Nitrous on a L98
Valve springs would be a good place to start. Ideally, some nicer springs will prevent your valves from staying open past the timing of the cam and getting slammed into place by the piston returning to TDC. My dad blew a valve up through his hood like that once.
Probably the best thing you could do would be a high flow/ electric water pump and some other cooling system goodies.

Re: Nitrous on a L98
Forged parts meaning rotating assembly: Pistons, rods, crankshaft. Forged is always a lot more forgiving when it comes to abuse than the OEM parts. That being said anything will break with enough abuse. I've seen a completely forged assembly with ARP fastners rip the top off a piston with 22 lbs of boost and too much timing.
If you search around tho it's been stated on here of guys running 150 shot on stock 350 without issues.

Re: Nitrous on a L98
