Default Another how much can I safely spray question; H/C/I LS2

I am considering running nitrous. How much could I spray with my present setup?

LS2 stock bottom
FAST 90
TrickFlow as cast, compression 11.5:1
227/230 cam
LS7 injectors, Supra fuel pump
460-470rwhp

I would like to spray a 100 shot, but am wondering it is very safe.

Such a generic question. It is as safe as you want to make it.

100 shot will be perfectly fine. It will still pick the car up a good amount as well.

Yep I have a buddy with a similar setup and makes 500 rwhp n/a and 600 rwhp on a 100 shot on the stock internals. It's a 06 GTO btw

There is no correct answer on how much nitrous can you spray safely, to many variables. With a bad tune, wrong plugs etc you could hurt one on any amount of nitrous. If you have a good tune, correct plugs, window switch, consistent bottle pressure then you're less likely to hurt something. Nitrous isnt what tears up stuff up, 99% its operator error thats the issue.

Thanks for the replies.

I’ll rephrase the question; assuming good tune, correct plugs, window switch, consistent bottle pressure….with the above setup and no built bottom

At what shot level would you need to build the bottom? I want to determine if a 100 shot is near the ragged edge, or how much buffer there really is.

I believe NitrousExpress and HCI2000SS may have answered my question but I want to be sure there is margin.

I ran 150 shot for years on a stock 90k ls1(pump gas br7 plugs). you can push more ppl have done it. honestly I would run a 200 without blinking an eye. just go in steps, watch the timing and plugs. a 100 shot isn't much for these. 150 shot is still in the safe limits.
