I have about 390hp out of a T-rammed 355, 328hp to the ground. The bottom end is fully balanced, with stock rods (rod sides are polished) and with ARP-bolts, KB's hyper pistons (with nitrousready piston ring end cap), heads are AFR195cc's, 255lph fuelpump, 30lbsh SVO's. T-56, stock rebuild B&W posi rearend.

the kit is NX's 50-150hp 1-stage wet kit, controlled by haltech E6GMX. It controls nitrous start/stop rpm, ign retard, min start engine temp etc.

Will the engine survive continiously this kind of nitrous "abuse"?

 

No engine will survive nitrous abuse. By abuse I mean detonation, no fuel ect.

If you set the kit of correctly I think you will be ok. Except maybe the rods. What kind of rod bolts do you have?

 

ARP-rod bolts.

 

as long as the tune is good. that motor will survive all day on 100-150.

I ran a 355 with stock crank, rods "with arp bolts", probe pistons and dura moly rings and sprayed 200 for 2 years. it now resides in my friends car and he has been spraying it with 200 for almost 1 year now....

 

I agree - stop worrying - just make sure you put all the safety features in place - WOT switch at least, a window switch if possible, adequate fuel - preferably a dedicated fuel pump(if applicable) low fuel pressure switch etc.


Also wire your system properly and enjoy the squeeze!!!!!


There is nothing like a good nitrous assisted pass -

except maybe a heavy nitrous assisted pass
