Supercharged84Z

hey guys, im trying to decide what to do....im either goin to rebuild my 350 ( carbureted ) for a 50 or 75 shot of nitrous and use all stock parts like in a rebuild kit and just resurface the valves and whatnot, everything you would do with a normal rebuild...or im going to rebuild the engine and get all forged internals, and equip the engine so it can withstand a 100-175 shot of nitrous easily. i was wondering what parts i would need to check, and what parts i should buy that would be a necessity if i had the 125 shot of nitrous on the engine ( pistons, crank etc. ) and which brands y'all reccomend. i want to be able to use the nitrous to cook rice, but not to cook my engine. i had this post on the power adder forum, but no responses, i hope you guys can help.

A stock factory engine in good condition will handle 175 hp
if *** there is enough, fuel feed to the nitrous system,
spark advance is not exessive and the fuel is of high enough octane to avoid detonation.
If you're going to rebuild you might as well upgrade to forged pistons and ARP rod bolts. Four bolt blocks and steel cranks and aftermarket rods are not nessessary at this power level.
The ring gap is slightly bigger for a nitrous motor. all other clearences will be the same as any performance buildup.
The parts manufactures' have guidline charts (some on the Net)
for you to follow. A camshaft with more exhaust duration and wider lobe centers, installed advanced will benefit a nitrous engine.
Put your money into managing the NOS properly (ignition retard,
saftey switches,Hi octane gas, dedicated fuel system) rather than unnessary aftermarket bottom end parts.
