Nitrous...Can It Handle It?

i ripped my car all apart this winter, built up the drivetrain and motor...i don't know what the motor will put out, but it has vette alum heads, .536/.543 224/230 cam and HSR intake...if anybody wants to throw an HP estimate out there that would be great....but as far as the bottom end, i had the crank ground .010, then all new cam/crank bearings, and new pistons...and it is a 2 bolt main block...i'm guessing about 350-400max...you think the motor can handle a shot of nitrous on top of that, and if so, how much??

The cam and the intake are going to want more rpm then the heads… the heads will probably try to drop dead by 5K rpm unless they’ve been worked, and then if everything else was perfect/matched you’d top out in the 360hp range at the crank.

You could throw a lot of spray on top of that.

What are the pistons? Cast, hyperutectic, forged?

That and your ignition will dictate how much spray it will handle.

You could safely spray a 100 shot maybe a 150.Make sure your fuel system is up to par.

i have a 26# injectors, and the fuel pump will prolly go out before I spray it, so I can get a bigger one....so it would be able to hold a 100 shot no problems? as far as strength and fuel supply....what should I run, wet or dry? my friend has a 150 shot dry on his LS1 camaro, with just a cam, and stock fuel system, seems to work out nice for him....and his injectors are 28#
