So... I have this Trickflow plate kit for my TF intake, and I currently have a 306 with forged flat tops, reconditioned rods, and stock crank. TF CNC 185's and Stage 2 TF cam. Getting tuning done this spring, and hope to build a full forged 331 before that, BUT, I am an electrician and work is getting scarce and so are the hours at work sometimes.
If I don't get the budget to rebuild my motor before spring, how much would any of you guys consider safe to throw at it? I assume that the motor should put out around 400 at the crank. For the nitrous, It's a wet kit, and I also have some of the safety things in place including: MSD window switch to engage after 3000 or so RPM and disengage before rev limiter, say around 6000. I have fuel pressure safety switch, and am going to upgrade my MSD 6A to a 6 Plus before I use it also, for the timing retard feature. I also have a 255lph fuel pump too, so pressure shouldn't be a problem. I also have the automatic bottle heater with gauge to monitor pressure.
SO: How much can I throw at it?
Is there anything else I should get?
Any other thoughts?
Other than the first fill, will only be used rarely.
Motor only has 5-7k on it
