How much nitrous can a stock 302 take?

[agent007kimball]

With the mods on my car listed in my signature, how much nitrous do you think I can run down the 1/4 mile without blowing my 100,000 mile stock 302 motor?

Ive seen 150.

I've run 150 for the longest time. Still thinking about going with a 200 shot to see what happens.

300

Kidding ?

I heard 200-250.

300 does seem a bit high doesnt it?

lol if u guys think you can run 300 on a stock motor for long, then you are some gullable people!!

With 100,000 miles on the clock, i'd stick with 100 or less to be safer. I personally have seen 150 HP shots on high mileage 5.0's, but in most cases those guys ended up replacing head gaskets too after not very long. Good Luck!

300 is possible, but pretty much stupid. I know guys that have been using a 200 Shot for a long time on there high milage engines similar to yours without a problem. Of course it depends alot on the driver technique as well. A driver who dosn't know how to use nitrous will easily blow a hole in a piston or something else on his first try, even with a small shot of Nitrous. Overall I would play it smart and stick with a 150 shot, and insure you know how to proparbly use it. You failed to mention what you have for a fuel pump, I imagine you have upgraded that as well. If not, it would definetly be smart to do so, especially when nitrous is in the plans.

Actually the pump is stock. I will upgrade it before I put any nitrous in my car. Which leads me to another question....

What fuel pump would be good to get and should I get larger injectors for a 150 hp shot?

Seen a guy at the trackin a 89 lx run a compucar 250 shot on stock internals, block, intake and tranny. Just had the necessary mods: Big pump, 24lb. injectors, 70mm T/B, 3:90's, E/T streets. Low 12's

 

[what_stanger?]

low 12s?, thats it?

thats sad with 250hp jets!

i've got high 12s with a weak 75 shot, and a low bottle pressure......
