LS1 400 shot GO BIG OR go home
Stock cubes ls1. Eagle crank,k-1 H beams with ARP2000, Wiseco -3.2cc pistons,Cometic.04 headgasket,ls6 ported heads(not milled),fast 102,TSP228r and rings are setup for low boost (do not know wexact gap) engine has 500 miles on it and i have all supporting mods to put the power to the pavement. drag radials,9 inch , chromly diveshaft ,tq arm etc.... Whats the biggest shot i can put in it without blowning it up and still have it last a while???. I would of course be using a window switch and timing tuner.

I was going to do the rule of thumb of 2 degrees per 50 hp but with that big of a shot id get it dyno tuned into the timing tuner to make sure. The pistons are Wiseco -3.2cc flat top pistons

Been there, done that, got the tshirt... I would highly suggest starting at 200 and working your way up on the tune up. We've also found that a stock cube motor really doesn't respond to much more than 350 worth of n2o. Granted this depends on intake cam and cylinder heads also. My experiences were with a super vic, ported 225's and a custom grind Hyd roller. Timing and good plugs will be a tricky subject. I'd suggest ngk10's

Here is what only 5* pulled on a 200 shot on the dyno looked like after a track pass. It bent the crank also.
