need info nitrous ls7
I have a stock bottom end with a big cam, milled and ported heads, br7 plugs, full exhaust, car should make ~600rwhp na.... I am starring at my nitrous express 90mm plate kit with all the goodies, will it be safe for 100 shot from time to time?

I would recommend some better fuel just to be safe. Splash a couple gallons of VP in your tank if you are going to go out racing. If you don't do that I would run a hell of a safe tune and take some timing out. I run 13.8 compression with LS7 heads milled .130 and a 125 shot. Car made 749whp 760wtq but I am also on E85.
Do a flex fuel setup with sensor and fill up with E85 at the pump if you want to go spray. There are a handful of members here doing it. Looks like you have some E stations in Florida, any near you?

So using E85 or C16 as you like for races and keep the car on 93 oct while you're cruising. Best,

I don't have anything near me it's a extremely far drive, at this point if it's gonna be impossible to run a 100 shot on pump gas I might just send it all back and get my money back, I don't wanna blow the car up but I really wanna spray the car on pump gas

Well I don't prefer this stuff but if you aren't going to spray real often you could pick up some bottles of Torco and dump it in the tank when you plan on spraying.It will give you a little safety margin. Just be sure to mix it in a gas can first to help dilute it.

If you wanna run a 100 shot without race gas then put in forged pistons or kiss that bottom end goodbye... Had a buddy do the same thing and it popped on 93 octane... One hot day and it went boom...

since you wanna spray at the safe side then you have to get a gallons for your ride even if it's far away fill two gallons and keep them home for anytime you wanna spray it that's the only way you can enjoy the nitrous otherwise kiss your LS7 the goodbye kiss that's it

Pump gas is only going to get you so far when your hp starts to get up there. If you want more, you are going to need to run the correct fuel. If not, you will be tinkering with a very expensive and dangerous situation.
-Flex fuel setup with a new tune and use E85 when you spray
-Buy a 5 gallon pale of VP fuel and mix in a few gallons when you run. Doesn't need to be C16 or anything crazy. I used to use the 112 mix.
-Use Torco with your pump fuel (dirtest solution)
-Look into meth kits for your added safety.
