150 many times, 200 hp for my fastees et, tried 225 but had problems with tranny and possibly the stall. I did not pick up any more with the 225 shot.

150 safely but you can push it if you want to. If going over a 150 I would go two stages or progessive to break up the torque spike. But it can be done. You just have to have the tune dead on, use the right plugs/gap, pull the right amount of timing. If you make a mistake it will be time for a rebuild.

A friend was running 175 for a couple years, on a 250 shot number one must have gone lean because it disintegrated bad bad things.
Another b-body was spraying 200+80 at one point.

On stock heads? Is it safe to say that stock heads give out at 200? Where would one say ported LT1 heads give up on the juice?

sprayed 13 bottles on 150 shot over the summer, have gone through 3 bottles on 200 shot, running a TNT F2 plate kit dual nozzle, stock internal, stock manifolds, stock everything save for transmission/converter. stock tune, tr6 plugs gapped at .035, pulled plugs the other day and put them right back in, nothing showing that the motor is doing anything weird or dangerous.

On a 200 shot, would you guys recommend studding the block for the bearing caps? I thought I heard the stock crank might try to get wobbly at a 200 shot. I'm wondering as I'm planning on using the 200 jets for the shiny nitrous outlet plate sitting here. Going to be using a FJO. Rods/pistons are forged.

Interested also on Denny's question on the heads? Never gave much thought about if head design limits nitrous effectiveness.

Soo is it definitely a good idea to get a tune immediately after hooking up a 150 shot? Or any size shot at that?

So thats good news to me. My ultimate goal is to leave on at least a 150 shot from start to finish. What are you guys doing about timing? Pulling 2* for the 150 or what. And have you guys sprayed the 150 out of the hole?

I sprayed 250 out of the hole. The amount of timing to pull depends on the tune. If I have an aggresive N/A tune I will pull 6* for a 150 shot pulled 11.5 on the first pass spraying 250 then added a degree at a time . Made 4 passes spraying 250 that day and 4 passes before those at 200hp.
