Nitrous with my setup

Ok here's what I'm going to be building...

350 - decked/machined
Xrods
26lbs injectors
dished pistons
LT1 intake
Dart 202 heads - 2.02/1.60?
700r4 - stage 2 everything, holeshot converter 2400
stock rear - 3.23 posi


Now I'm thinking the engine might be able to take it, maybe a 75 or 100 shot but the rear might decide to grenade. Now, I want your opinions on how much I can throw at the motor.

I don't get it? I see no reason why you couldn't run flat-top pistons and nitrous up to 200hp if you wanted.
Did you leave something out of the equation?

It won't limit you on the nitrous, just the total amount of power you'll make, and probably subtract a little from your fuel economy.
The bonus is that you can probably run fine with 87 octane, so it makes up for some of the lost economy.

what is your cam specs.
compression doesn't really matter . i have friends running up to 14 to 1 and a 300 shot , another with 13.5 to1 and a 400 shot . the main key is GOOD race gas and some timming retard. the guy with the 400 shot is running a NX mastermind progressive controler. everyone else around is just pulling some timming and hitin it.
