iron block will be able to hold more, aluminum will hold the spray to a point and then it will crack....everything has its limits though

My motor was built by ARE specifically with Nitrous in mind. It is an iron block and the stock crank heat treated and offset ground to 3.71 and the block bored to 4.06 for 383 cubes. Ross nitrous pistons and Lunati rods inside and ARP head studs holding the heads on. Cam is a nitrous cam and the exhaust ports are on the aggressive side. It was built with a 300 shot in mind. I am running a 140 dry through 42 lb injectors right noe and making 611 rwhp. I expect around 725-775 with the full shot. This motor can be built fairly cheap as well. Contact ARE for pricing.
