stock bottem end, now adding nitrous!?

my car dynoed at 427whp a few weeks ago.. this is the stock bottem end ls1 2002 year.. all bolts on bottem end are now arp pro bolts.. but now im thinking on adding a 100shot of nitrous wet kit.. not sure if its wise for the drag strip only since im on the stock bottem end basically.. would it hold or should i just say no to the funny gas? dont wanna toast my camaro this soon after getting it built..

Yes that will definitley hold. You could run well in excess of a 100 shot if you wanted. Fuel system upgrades are necessary, but the motor would def. hold

I'm still on a stock bottom end with a tad over 130k miles. I spray 200+ and haven't had any issues yet.

The motor will handle it. Nitrous needs fuel, give it fuel and the motor will be happy.

you'll be fine. If it was me i'd do a 150 shot, i'm running 150 now and its 100% reliable with no issues.
