i was going to run between 100-300 shot on my 408 build before the upgrade to lsx454, because of the stoke are there any limitations for that size on nitrous shot?

Lots of things to consider - there are a few things done in a nitrous built engine that might otherwise be different. When you get to levels of 300 or more, it is very important to have things dialed in accurately.

i have been searching I thought I read that some one was saying that a shorter stroke and bore was better for nitrous, and that that large of a stroke would not be good... But just read my GM high tech and Vengance has 2 big bore large stroke cars both running nitrous.. and the black ss was running a 454lsx! just wanted some feed back....

you can run between 0 and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000+
depending on parts, set up, tune, how often you want to brake stuff, suspention etc etc etc.
hope this helps.

my wise *** remark is pretty much saying there is no right or wrong answer to this question, and its been asked many many times.

You can't find **** in the search anymore.

I think I remember reading somewhere that GM suggested anything over a 440 be in N/A applications due to cylinder wall thickness and bore spacing. Any comments?

Search function ROYALLY SUCKS these days...

We are spraying 300 on a 454 we built. It was just featured in GMHTP last month... High 5s in the 1/8 at a pretty stout race weight.

The thing to consider is with the longer stroke the pin is pushed further up into the piston and also the compression height is altered in a bad way... Lots of people dont suggest big power adders on combos like this, but we have absolutely no issues on the combos we have built.

i went with the 427 for a couple reasons. going 440 or larger screws me up in a local class, if i blow her up and catch the walls, i have meat on there to bore.
if you punch a race block out all the way the first time. you get one shot at a $2,000 block.

with my NA numbers on a car set up to run spray i havent seen many bigger cubes much more impressive. esp if you look at how basic my set up is i have a home ported old style intake, no sheet metal stuff here, i have a nitrous converter and a power glide with 3:73

im thinking this season with the 400 in the car and a little more power from the new heads i'll be in the 9.4- 9.5 range on motor in a car set up to run 300+

that said. i would do a 427 again without question

also, keep in mind i tuned this car with hp tuners and rev it to 8,300 and i have no clue how to tune. lol i bet in the right hands with someone who knows how to tune this car has more in it.
