LT1 nitrous fuel question
How much Nitrous can the stock Heads & Cam LT1 stock fuel system handle? I'd like to hit it with a 200-250 whp shot. I'm going to use the ZL1 fuel pump, plugs, rpm window switch, progressive controller, heater and tuned oc. Is there anything else needed for the fuel system? I have a few mods listed below.
Tuned
3.90 gears
ARH Headers
2 Hi-flow cats
Mufflers Modded
Ported Int / manifold & TB
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't plan on using nitrous often. The usual hit will be 100-150. I'd like to occasionally hit it with a 200 shot. There's a LT1 camaro forum member that was running e85 with a 200hp shot for over 6 month with the stock fuel system with no issues.

A 78 jet should be fine. About to hit mine with one with a cam. Going to feed the fuel noids with my dsx aux kit since I'm not going to be throwing boost on the car anymore.

I only use 95-97 oct at min with or w/out Nos, luv the smell lol. No plans for E. I'm right on the edge at 200 then. I'll eventually swap the pump before spraying 200 hp. So what the Hell, I'll try 175 shot until I change the pump.
Thanks I appreciate your help.

I have the controller. I think the ZL1 pump should work fine. If I'm correct, the LT1 pump can handle up to 625 hp, and the ZL1 handles 700 hp plus.
