you need a wider lsa and more exhaust duration.you will need a big fuel pump.go to the nitrous section for better input.get a custom cam to meet your needs.

+1 for more exhaust duration....Custom cam would be your best bet. As said above, check out the nitrous forum. Lots of knowledgeable guys to point you in the right direction.

Depends on the Bottom End and Cyl Heads.

IMO if your still stock short block that you will blow it up before really taking advantage of that custom cam and when you rebuild IMO should be bigger and the cam specs change.

So talk to PatG and see what he says but your pushing it beyone 150 if your not taking all safety precautions.
