Default Best aluminum block for nitrous?
Which LS series engine block can handle a big shot 250-300 the best? All engines having stock bore with forged internals.

I just picked up a rx7 and am wondering which engine I should go with that will take a large shot of nitrous. Any engine would be built to handle the nitrous.

Stock block will work for you. Forged pistons/forged rods/forged crank and you can hit that bitch hard.

I guess what I am asking is should I use a ls1 or ls2? Those are the two engines I am looking into. I would possibly stroke them out to 383 ls1 or 402 ls2.
