And what shot are you talking about? Its like asking what the top speed is on a Lexus. They all have different top speeds.
Stroking a LT1
All in all..we all know what each of us is referring to..
depends honestly.
some people have sprayed regularily on 100,000+ mile motors with no problems while others have not been so lucky. good tune, good plugs, regulated bottle pressure, and keeping detonation generally in check are all you can really do and hope for the best.
as far as what route to take whether it be h/c, n2o, supercharger, turbo, etc. all have their strong points and weaknesses. ultimately its up to what the owner wants, not what the "best" single path that everyone should take is, because that answer is not as universal as some might make it seem to be.

The correct term for general use is Nitrous oxide. when referring to water do you say H - 2 - O. or do you say dihydrogen monoxide. He is laughing because NOS is a brand name and not a term for N20.
My apologies for being the only one to ever do this.

Well the old 5.0s are very light in weight and he did say his friend has a 408 stroker which is using a Windsor or Cleveland block. I've seen some of the common builds for these things and the usually make 525 -550 hp at the flywheel na and way more if he's boosted or on spray. So I'd imagine the car should be pretty quick, but nothing a built 383 or 355 with good heads and cam should be able to handle but as everyone else has stated it's gonna cost big bucks. How many miles on your current engine, if you are near or over 140K I would rebuild it. Get good light forged pistons and 6" Scat or Eagle H beam rods, 4340 forged crank or re-use your stock crank, get LE or AI to port n polish your stock heads and intake and a custom cam to match, long tube headers, cai, bigger injectors, a tune and a 150 shot and see if your stang friend can keep up. Also get a converter since you have an A4.

Sorry, that logic is flawed. You know well enough that we are not chemists here, and so to talk to a chemist about an item that is used for street racing, only to have him laugh at me for not using the 'scientific term', isn't very likely, nor does it make sense. A biologist wouldn't laugh at me for using the term 'man', instead of 'homo sapien'.
'Nitrous' is its formal name. We weren't talking about its scientific name
Ahh, I see you are making the best use of search engines at your disposal.
