Default 200 shot on this motor setup?

I am pulling the current motor to rebuid it with these parts, unless you guys say it can't be done.

So far the plan is
-Scat I beams w/ARP rod bolts
-diamond pistons
-nitrous outlet plate (78mm), single stage
-Walboro 255 pump
-making low to mid 400's on motor


Will the motor handle it reliably? Especially since it's single stage?

Also what rings to get?

Will I be fine with ARP bolts instead of studs?

Also, what is the highest compression i should run?

I'm on a budget, that's why I was thinking scat Ibeams.


thanks in advance.

I've been running a 225 shot in 2 stages on a stock bottom end for a couple of month's. Start small and work your way up on the size of shot from the jug.

It will take it fine as long as your tune is good. Even with a budget save up a little more to get some scat H beams and head studs. I'd shoot for around 11:1 SCR and hit it with a 300 shot.

You need to scrap the idea of using I-beams and get a set of H-beams.

a good set of I-Beams will survive in your car just fine.

At once or progressive. Either way as long as your tune is set up for it.

They will, but pushing a big shot will be iffy. I think they're rated for 750 flywheel. That should be close to what he's pushing. They have a buffer zone built into them, but I wouldn't want to test it for too long.

Nozzle wise. Dave's plate is one of the baddest designs out there. Ron@Vengeance built a car using the 92mm version of that plate and has been spraying a 300 shot for a while.

I think the Scat rods will be fine for the 200 hit(but anymore I do think you should upgrade to a better I-beam or H-beam). I'm using their I-beams and the only reason I went with them was because of RPM I planned to turn. Otherwise I would have stuck with the stock ones.
