MS3 and nitrous??
I am about to throw in a MS3 with all the goodies ( PCR dual springs, lifters, LS6 oil pump, ect.) and i wanna know how much if any nitrous would be safe with this setup? I wouldn't use the nitrous much, just whenever i take her to the track. Thanks guys.

you would definitely need a larger fuel pump if you are going to spray with the MS3
if you go with a dry kit, then add bigger injectors to the list - 42#er's should definitely be good
then throw a 150 shot at it
save up some money for a new rear cause it isn't going to last long

As he said, you will need to upgrade fuel pump and/or injectors for most systems. I would also be weary of spraying on the stock short block. I plan to shoot at least 150 hp at my MS3 down the road but not until I have the fuel system upgrades, 12 bolt and forged internals (mostly pistons).

As mentioned, if you go wet get a good complete set up and a good fuel pump. I don't think a 150 shot is out of the question at all. Make sure you get the car on a wideband once your nitrous kit is set up and keep the timing down around 24* for the 150 shot on 93 octane. My MS3 seems to be working just fine with nitrous (TNT 150 shot). Last year at street night I was running 11.35-11.65 in full street trim, this year with the addition of the MS3 and a slightly stickier tire, the car is running consistant 10.70s. I'll be hitting it with a 2 stage 225 shot next week.

I don't really race my car hardly ever, i just have fun on the highway and **** with it. I don't ever dump it or really need to get traction cause i don't race it off the line much, so the ms3 isn't gonna tear up my rear end just punchin it in gear right?? If so......I'll start saving for a 12 bolt!

You should be fine. I have an auto which is easier on the rear, but my rear is still and should remain fine pushing 385 rwhp and pulling 1.64 60's. If it can handle this, it can certainly handle running from a roll in an M6.
The main reason M6's are hard on the rear is the sudden jolting nature of dumping the clutch from high rpm and slamming it into second gear.
