Default How Much Juice?

Just completed a nitrous installation on my '04 Vert. It a stock motor with dual cone intake, smooth couplers, long tube headers and cat back.

The nitrous system is capable of 75 - 250 shots. How much shot can I give the stock bottom end without any fear of problems?

If you are new, 100 shot.

It's a wet system so I'm adding fuel as well. I know I can still melt it down but I'm not racing the car, just a thrill every once and a while.

for 100 hp shot you might want to pull a few degrees of timing and use a cooler plug ...

You should be discussing this with your tuner! Only he can guide you as to what is safe to make the proper changes. You also should be data logging!

I sure hope you didn't throw on your NOS thinking you can just spray and go!

I know some guys are putting 150 - 200 shota in LS1's on a regular basis and they haven't come unglued yet. I just want feedback from those that would have a little more experience than I.

I've got a FAST 90 and LS2 TB on the way and want to install those before I get a tune. No need to get one now and then do it again after the intake/tb change.
