Question trex question

How is the TReX cam with nitrous? Nothing more than 125 shot. Am I asking for trouble?

Your bottom end might be asking for trouble. The T-rex will feed off of nitrous because of the split grind. You should search on this. There is probably enough info out there about this that the search will overload and break from the high yield.

I've heard that LS1's handle nitrous really well.

Some people will say you may dump some of it out the exhaust but I doubt it will yield anything less than 125hp from a 125 shot. Your biggest enemy is going to be your stall. You will have to have around a 4400 stall with the TRex cam to get the most out of it, and if you spray on that off the line you will flash to 5k+ and be at your rev limiter in no time-unless you have some reeeeal sticky tires!

Don't worry bout the stall, it's a 6spd.

I know a guy that took a stock bottom end LS1 with headers, lid, cutout, TREX, 4800 stall, and a 225 shot, stock 98 intake, a stock 3.23 gear, and BFG drags and went 6.50's in the 1/8. I would say they do well with nitrous.
