LT1's and Nitrous

Question for you experienced LT1 guys, how well do they respond to nitrous and what considerations need to be taken when building one to run a big shot like 200+

They respond well. My car went from a 13.6 to a 12.66 on a 150 shot when it was stock with minor bolt ons.

You won't want to run a 200 shot unless your tune is right on. With better pistons and rod bolts you can run a 200 all day long.

I've had a few LT1's in the past and always loved them but never went full bore modding one, now I'm looking to get another one and build full tilt, thinking 383 with a tin of nitrous

I can save you some troubles building a car and you can just by mine
