Default How much can i use? nitrous on erl block

Got a ERL dry sleeve block, bored to 4.155. curious how much nitrous is possible safely.

Compstar rods and piston and wiseco 2618 pistons 11.5:1

curious what you guys think it will take without too much issue.

Tech at erl recommended a 150.. but i was hoping to use a 200.

It will take 200 easily. Heck, a stock engine could handle 100-150 with a good tune and fuel. A forged resleeved engine better take more than that...

Oh its not a kit lol... it's a short block. Maybe it's politics.. or coverin there butts... recommended 150 hit.. I want at least 200.. but it's a 2 stage fogger. 100.100.... all forged bottom end. 4..155x4.00..... kept the 4 inch stroke for higher reving and less piston rock... larger bore to accommodate ls7 heads better... I dunno.m I was just kind curious why he said only 150 on a iron sleeved block

Ive seen way more than a 150 on a motor setup comparable. You shouldn't be afraid to hit it with a 200. Pump gas car?

Make sure its good E85, I've seen a rash of shell stations passing off GARBAGE for E85.

Invest in this, I can get you one in a few days. (shameless plug)
