Could my engine handle Nitrous

Here are my Engine Specs


350 Bored 30 over
Flat Top Pistons
Steel Crank
Double Bump Heads
All new Gaskets
Seats, Rings

2600 Stall Convertor
Turbo 350 Tranny
Stage 2 Shift Kit

3.23 Rear end

Engine is pretty much new from the rebuild, has maybe 5000 KM on it since the rebuild. The engine is the older carbed, 1967-73 I believe.

I only want a 50-75 shot. Whatta think?

EDIT: I forgot the Compression is CRAZY high in her too. Dont know if that matters

Thanks, Joe

the heads you have are 64cc,with flattop slugs depending on deck height,gasket quench,milled heads you should be in the 9.8-10.5 area,if you are not certain on the type of piston you have(forged or cast)i would not go higher than 100hp setting with the fuel pressure on the nitrous set at 6-6.5psi.nothing less!!!!!!only use the nitrous ABOVE 3000 rpm.......

it would probably handle a 200-250 shot with the right fuel and tuning, but a 50-75 shot would be like nothing to it.
