Default Nitrous Question

If I were to put forged internals in the 346 (crank,rods,pistons etc) Could I run a 175-200 shot safely?

Yes, but your stock fuel pump won't support a shot that big.

No biggie, if I can do the forged internals, no reason why I can't get a aftermarket fuel pump right?

You don't need a forged bottom end for a 175 shot. On a good tune you can get away with the stock bottom end. Upgrade your fuel pump and try it. If/when it goes then do the forged bottom end.

wait a min, then why is it that everyone says 150 is bad without forged internals and what not? I figured the bottom end could hold it no problem but the pistons and rods were a different story or am I wrong?

Who is everybody? That advice is not given on this site as a rule, to the contrary.
