what about nitrous???

So Ive read alot about it but havent really looked into it, so I thought i would ask. What all would I have to do to my car if I wanted to put nitrous on it, and not have it tear the crap out of it??? Im upgrading to a stout 350, with a newly rebuilt tranny and posi rearend. What all would I need to do, if anything, to get this ready for nitrous? What will most likely break if I do put nitrous on???

It would be best if you use all forged internals but I know sometimes budgets get in the way. I would stay with a 150 shot or less on non forged parts.

not too big

I prolly wouldnt go over 100 shot if i did use it... Any harm in that. They are standard pistons and crank and everything

nope. as long as everything is in working order you will be fine. pull 4-6 degrees of timeing and run 1 step non-platinum colder plug with a 36 gap. have fun.

nitrous is like a gun, it dosnt hurt anything without someone there to pull the trigger.

i ran a 100 shot on a cast piston stock internal motor for well over 65 bottles. the motor is still in my car today and running.

I have a stock bottom end and stock internals on a GM crate engine and I've gone through 2 bottles so far with a 100 shot. No knocking or anything no detonation. With a 100 shot you should be safe on a stock engine. At least I have been so far. lol. Just don't go crazy and stick in 200 pills or something.
