10.5:1 compression, pump gas, and 150 shot is probably not a long-lived combination.

Your best bet would be to search over on the power adder forum to see what's required to produce a powerful, long-living combination.

It's not really an engine swap question.

Sounds like a small block grenade to me. If you want to reliably use nitrous for a prolonged period of time, you need to look at internal engine components. It takes lots of $$$ to go really fast.

Race gas, pump gas, it doesn't matter. And 10.5 can be run on pump gas.

it's the fact that internals don't like excessive stress. The hardware doesn't like stress. Invest in a good bottom end. Consider those before you consider the cam and stall. Because, no matter which way you toss the dice, the bottom end has to take it.

10.5 CR can be used with pump gas, but with a 150 shot on top of that?
