Default Building for nitrous

I don't want anything radical.
I was wondering... What can I do to safely spray 200-250rwhp with a stock bottom end? I could do it now, but I'm sure the rings will wear out.

Can I just upgrade pistons and rings? What else should I do?

I think the stock rod bolts should be upgraded too. Might want to ask this on the NOS forum, might get more response.

Default Re: Building for nitrous

with that amount of juice, i would recommend replacing rods and pistons (forged)...Eagle makes a nice rod that fairly inexpensive ($450-$500) compared to some others...also fuel system upgrades will be needed (injectors, pump, and pcm repro.)
