Default What do you guys think......10psi /w meth /w nitrous?????

So im building a t78 ls1 turbo car... motor is stock other than a set of 317 heads /w upgraded valvetrain and turbo cam. I switched over to boost from nitrous. I know my motor is eventually gonna go so why the hell not have fun doing it... What do you guys think of 10-12psi /w meth and 50shot of nitrous ?? Anyone done anything like this?? Would it last a few thousand miles? Lets here your opinions!!!!

I have been reading on here that nitrous is great to spool up the turbo faster. But if you do that with meth in the power band the tune is going to be a mess I'm sure.

It will be fun, for a short while. Even with the 317s you are going to break ring lands. I predict #7 first. Watch for knock and keep that AFR fat.
