Mileage? I would say it will run like a champ for awhile on 100-150 shot. Anymore is pushing it!

As long as you set your car up for it properly a 150 shot will be fine. . You might invest in some tires though

150 shot properly installed and maintained would last quite a while....... anymore than that and your nitrous tuneup is going to be the determining factor on how long your pistons last....

the motor has 4000/5000 miles and was rebuilt with stock pistons???? why????? I mean hell even Keith black makes some cheap forged pistons that are cheap and better than stock...

Even if is 40 over are they forged? If not its not going to last as long as you want. A plate kit is just that a plate that sprays the nitrous and the fuel usually rigght behind the throttle body Nitrous Outlet makes some really nice stuff forlt1s

Did you also use the stock rod bolts or upgrade to ARP's, what about oil pump? It's not a "stock" bottom end if it has forged pistons. There's a HUGE difference.

Yeah you need to know exactly what's in that bottom end before you start spraying so you know how much it will hold and more importantly how long it'll hold up to the spray

Speed pro makes hypereutectic and forged you need to make sure their are forged. And what rod bolts are you using stock or arp? Because if their forged pistons and stock rod bolts those are the weakest link and will break.
