A 100-shot, but I don't know if I'd say it's "safe" to run N2O on a 145k mile longblock...

If you know the history on it & its not been too abused with good oil pressure, 100 shot should be no problem, you'll just need a window switch to control ON & OFF rpms for the juice, make sure your fuel pressure it up to par, an adj. regulator never hurts, i have my pressure (new walbro 255) up to 54 psi WOT (off reg. vacuum) & this ol'e LT1 loves it, i'm in the process of getting a base NX kit from NitroDave, i'm sitting at 158K.

Whatever you run here are the must haves. Nitrous filter, window switch, fuel pressure saftey switch, TPS or WOT switch, bottle heater. I highly recommend a wideband 02 sensor and a lean shutdown switch as well. If you don't get the last 2 things at least put it on the dyno the verify AFR
