75 Shot on stock block?

Hey guys, could a stock V6 block handle a 75 shot of nitrous. I'm thinking about running a wet system, and I'm not sure what kind of shot to use. keep in mind the engine has 136,000 miles on it. But it runs strong without hesitation, so what do you think?

wet system for just a 75 shot??? save the carnage of a backfire & do a dry shot w/that power setting. Also, what's your back up "just in case". I'd do no more than that, and make sure that your driveline will support that sudden jump in power, and not leave you cussing up at storm at the end of the track.

really? a dry shot would be better. hmm, yeah the drivetrain should be able to take the sudden jump. thanks for the suggestion, i'll use a dry shot.

Why dry? I thought the wet setups were supposed to be a lot 'safer'.

Dry shots are NOT good. The ECU has no way to compensate for the change in AFR. Wet shot or don't bother. Don't activate at under 3000 rpm and a 3.1 *should* hold together.

wet shot...... not everyone is going for a 100+ power boost in the future.

your call, but wet shot backfires are most spectacular
