so whatever happened to your engine after you sprayed the nitrous last time???

with no forged internals you can run 100-125 safely so I would guess 200hp???? make sure you get all the safety stuff this time(wot switch, purge valve)

Its all in the tuning and praying the stock intake doesnt explode. You have a Bullitt though correct?

Yes i have a BULLITT intake, yeah last time i broke a rod, but it was thrown together by a couple of my friends, i bought a cobra aluminum block bored it .020 over and bought a forged stroker kit from CHP. Im gonna get it installed by a proffessional this time and im just trying to figure out what would be a safe shot to put on there?? and yes im gettin the whole kit this time.........

You mean you had the aluminum block re-sleeved.

If you're running a stock 2V type crank(not sure what comes in the stroker kit) a 250 shot would be the biggest. The block,rods and pistons will take 800hp +. If it's a forged crank,you could theoretically run a 500 hp shot. Not sure how your head gaskets or bolts would like that............
or the tranny............
or the rear end............

Click to expand...

you can easily run that on a stock block, you should be fine. Of course that's assuming you've got all the necessary safety acessories installed and your tune is right. You can potentially kill an engine on a 50 shot if it puddles and blows. Better to be a little rich in the tune to ward off detonation, you'll sacrifice a bit of power but it's worth the peace of mind.

Well, I believe that CHP uses a reground crank to get extra displacement, therefore making it a little weaker. You have the option to upgrade to a cobra crank, but it's still reground.
