you can usually run a 100 wet shot safe with out major changes, just make sure you're runnin a window switch, WOT switch and some other safety measures, on some of my earlier posts i asked about the same thing in the nitrous forum if you check my older posts

Spray is never safe, IMO. Sure can be fun though

Agree. Just be aware of the increased cylinder pressures with Nitrous. If you have a high-mileage motor with stock rings... it'll find the weak spot quick.

The other problem is on LT1's the back 2 cylinders can go a little lean due to the construction of the LT1 and LT4 intake manifolds. I had some evidence of detonation on my #7 plug after making a couple 100-shot passes the other day.
