N2O -VS- 140,000 mile

I was wondering if a 100 shot of nitrous would tear up my 140,000 mile 350 power plant? The motor runs strong and I just redid the tranny. It pulls like no tomorrow, but I need that added edge. The ignition system is new with plugs, wires, and cap & rotor. Could use the advice, thanks.

if it were me personally....I'd go for it in a heartbeat. A 100 shot is very mild. It will definetly give you that added edge you are looknig for.

I've used a 200 shot on my 5.0 motor with 190K miles on it for the past two years and havn't melted anything yet.
