Where are all the N2O LT1's at? I'm going to do some spraying this summer so I wanted to see who is running what kind of shot and how the motors are holding up. I'm probably going to stick with a 125 shot. I have a stock rebalanced crank, stock rods, and forged pistons. So who else is out there givin' it hell?

The previous owner of my car ran a 125 shot through tons of bottles. I've since ran 1 bottle on a 125 and 2 bottles on a 150 shot and love it. Bone stock motor 130k miles right now

was spraying a 150hp shot on my stock mid 90,000 mile short block all last year. never any issues. pistons looked great when i pulled it apart for the build. there was a mark in #8 cylinder from a stuck ring. can't say that the nitrous caused that though.

stock 90k mile short H/C and 150 shot went 10.52 @ 126 and the motor never came apart
396 now will see 200 with a Nitrous Outlet plate kit and should go 9.60-9.80 area
TR6 or TR7
pull a little timing depending on the tune
intank fuel pump
I really see no issues with 125-150 and I think you will enjoy it

The car had went 10.3 before I bought it, redone some things and added weight. I think with the right converter I could have went faster, but it was inefficient ( sp ) on the gun. ( 101mph in the 1/8 )

I've sprayed 175 on a stock bottom end with no problems. I've had buddies that braved to 200, but I haven't YET. LOL. I've got a wet kit to go on my vert with a stand alone. As long as my compression test reads good, I'm dumping 150 to it and it's got 188k mi on it. Not sure how long it'll last, but it will be time for a rebuild anyways.

I bought my car with a 100 shot on it and the previous owner went through God knows how many bottles, i think he was a big-time street racer.
Motor is fine but he went through 2 transmissions.
Im gonna try a 200 shot on the firebird next spring just to see what happens.

Heads, cam, 150 shot, 70K miles.
