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.

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.
