Crate Motor + Nitrous

Well im in a delima. I want to build my own motor but i ran the prices and it would cost me about $2800 without my nitrous. Or i was thinking of buying one of the plain old crate motors from summit for $1600, re caming it and putting nitrous on it. I was woundering what kind of nitrous i can run through it and still be safe. I was hoping for a 100 or a 125 shot. I wont be running the nitrous through it everyday and this motor is going to be in my daily driver so it still has to be reliable.

Any suggestions.

O yea not to mention the crate motor does come with a waranty.

100 to 125 will be fine. You can even go to 150, but no more withour forged pistons

research the internals of the motor and that should give you an idea of how much juice you can get away with without disaster.
