Nitrous!?!?

[mootang]

i'm thinking of getting nitrous but i am concerned that the stock internals won't hold up. I know everyone says you can use up to 150 shot with no problems. but since i already have a H/c/I combo that puts out 300rwhp, my car will be pushing 400 rwhp and 400+rwtq with a 100 shot

now if i do it i will do it right and will get a dyno tune for the nitrous. but i'm just concerned that the stock rods or pistons will take a $hit.

so how much horsepower can the stock internals handle?

also what kind of cam does nitrous like?

thanks,

scott

I ran a VENOM 100sht for about 2 months and mine was fine. (completely stock internals)
The only problem I had was after about two or three small sprays the car ran would start to run pretty hot. I ended up having to sell the kit because I didnt wanna screw anything up, and its quick enough as a daily driver.

If you decide on N2o GET THE DYNO TUNE, probably would have helped me tremendously.

But in final..........Nitrous is the best way to go for quick HP.

thanks

i'm mainly concerned because i'll be pushing 400rwhp on stock internals.

i ran a 100 shot on an h/c/i car for quite a while with no major issues. the car has since been sold and is now seeing nearly 400whp from a vortech s-trim. this is with the stock bottom end and stock t5. to my understanding, the block is the weakest link in the shortblock, not the crank, rods, and pistons.

A 100 shot will NOT put all 100 to the rear wheel (drivetrain loss). You have to figure out how much your making at the flywheel. Guessing using the 17% comes to about 365fwhp=302rwhp (what you make now) add 100 shot gives 465fwhp=389rwhp.

If you are getting a tune, don't worry about it one bit. If the tune is safe, there is no problem.
