The proof is in the pudding, big boy nitrous is some serious business! Could you imagine what would happen to a motor that was just willy nilly thrown together with that much nitrous?

I think your goals are easily achievable with a power adder (nitrous). They can also be achieved n/a but at a much great expense! I personally would not be buying an off the shelf cam for that motor and would look to a custom grid once you have nailed down your head selection (Trickflow FTW). Understand that forged internals are great but you will be at the limit of your stock block, girdle or not. I have personally seen motors of this nature last many seasons deep in the tens and have also seen them last several passes before they are flower pots. (just food for thought) If you do decide to go the nitrous route understand that it can be very safe. This requires a considerable learning curve. For the most part a smaller shot 125-150 is forgiving, but only to an extent. We live in reality and Fast and Furious is far from that. A 300 shot or 250 for that matter is very serious business and is NOT forgiving. Either way I would recommend hours of research from reputable sources or seeking professional help in setting it up. Ask srtthis, pistons become a hot commodity and they keep several spares as far a I know.

If you do decide to try and attain this N/A then you will be spinning this motor higher rpm wise and will certainly need a very nice top end to support it. Let us know where you think you're going with the build. Pictures too, we all like pictures here!

i get what you are saying about the stock block lol but they are plentiful and cheap i have 3 already 30 over

the rhs heads are great. my 215s with a VJ went 6.40s@101 in the 1/8th on top of a 347 on the motor. as far as the 331, no reason it shouldnt go 1o.90s on motor with the right supporting hardware. my buddies stock windsor shortblock at 10.0:1 compression, a flat tappet cam, a 750, and 1971 cleveland heads ran high 10s.

I couldnt agree more with that, i hate communicating via Email.

I had at least an hour on the phone with Dan at CPC before i sent him a dollar. He did an awesome job on my cam. You could also call bullet direct. The cam was $350 from what i remember

I would rather be blown, but have played with more than my fair share of nitrous cars. In the past we have run up to 350 through a single system and a progressive. A friend of mine has a car with a sbc on two stages 200 out the gate and another 250 a hair over a second out.

I will say that my engine builder had a nitrous promod motor in his shop a while back that totally blew my mind. Billet block, billet heads, billet intake runners, etc. That motor was plumbed for 5 stages. yes 5 stages. 2 foggers in the upper runner, 2 foggers in the lower runner and a plate system under the split carbs. He would not divulge how much nitrous exactly but over 1000 hp worth easily. According to him the first stage is on before the clutch is all the way out leaving the line..

For all intents and purposes a single plate system for you in the 150hp range should get the job done and provide you with some decent longevity. I would be more than happy to help point you in the right direction for the setup if you decide to go that direction.
