Default LT1 Nitrous Build Help

94a4---Mods at present...
cc268xfi ----cam will be changing with the build
mid tube headers---changing to long tube
stock heads
built 4l60e 3000 stall
NX GM EFI Kit
1.5's---changing to 1.6's with the build

A couple questions..

What kind of piston,rod,ring combos is everyone having luck with?

Is there an advantage of going with a 6.0 rod over a 5.7 on the stock crank?

The car is going to stay a 350...to stay within my budget but i am going to throw more nitrous at it

Do you guys have any suggestions on what to change past the obvious...New Heads or is there any mistakes that you have made that i need to watch out for?

thanks guys

How much spray?

The stock crank will only handle low 500rwhp

I would at the least have the stock heads ported.

Those heads are holding you back more then you think with the cam and bottle.

Good pistons are expensive lol. JE's start at like $800 lol.

Could just not spray A TON and just get some basic forged pistons that will handle like a 200 shot.

I would say at least just get it bored .30 over and if your going to keep the stock crank at least get some nice rods and pistons. If you get nice heads you'll be able to rev it nice and high have a good power band and be able to spray the poop out of it
