nitrous on a 3.4L

Just wondering what I would need to do to strengthen a 3.4L engine to handle some nitrous. Besides the spray kit of course.

I'm wanting this engine to handle a shot of 75 HP about twice a month at MOST.

What would I need to do to her, what about tranny. Will be a T-5.

Thanks

i wouldn't use a power adder without a forged rotating assembly. SFCs are needed reguardless, anything you do to strengthen the suspension will help, even if you don't have a power adder.

Their are a few ppl on this board that run a 50 or 75 shot on stock internals.

I advise doing exhaust, intake, and better ignition first. Maybe better fuel system too.

should take a 75 shot just fine, may need larger injectors and bigger fuel pump tho.

The 3.4L has the 17 lb injectors, what should I upgrade it to?

And if I've got TPI the fuel pump is in the gas tank right?
