Default Nitrous V1.

So my V has got 71k miles on it and is entirely stock. How long can our cars last on nitrous and how much n2o can it take? It's a ls2 V. Roll racing is all I use it for really. No digs cause of rear.

most people say that a 100 shot is the safe limit for stock internal ls1... when you get higher you need to worry about pistons and rods

150 shot is the safe spot with a spot on tune and 1 step colder plugs. I prefer the Br7ef plugs from NGK. The stock clutch and rear end will go first before the motor.

Here in Abq we've had many guys run 200 buttons for awhile before they went turbo, that was with a damn good tune and around 5,000ft elevation though

I put 30 bottles through my stock LS6 V1.... 150 shot. Only driveline upgrade was a better clutch.

I agree. but br7s are two colder.

I lost count of how many I put through my car on 100 shot with a cam and longtubes as well. Car never skipped a beat.

Car hopped so bad at the strip n/a I never made a solid pass n/a or on the bottle. With a cam/longtubes/100 shot it was around 120mph car based on cars I raced.
