Default Stock bottem end nitrous build???

Ok so i am new to nitrous.I got my HSW kit about 6 months ago and cant get enough of the giggle gas.I was wanting to know what some of your N20 vets would do with my mods and a stock bottem end.Or if there is anything else i could get to make it run more efeciant.Thank you so much for you input.

LTs,CAI,3" exhaust,TSP Turqer v.2 cam,243 heads<<coming soon,monster clutch<<coming soon,HSW 125 wet shot.

When i get the car tuned i will be doing a 150 shot.

Sounds like you've got things pretty well handled to me. I wouldn't sweat hitting it with 200 if the tune is good. Once you get over that, I'd start looking at throwing a set of rod bolts in it.

The other thing would be to get the 243's worked. There are a few porters that have a damned good CNC program for them.

Anyone thought about 317 heads on a 346 with the spray? Possible to run a bigger shot/or more timing with less compression?

I know in general this isnt the best way but Anyone think it might make more when the bottem end is so tender?

I'd upgrade the fuel system before I upped the shot if I were you. Like Mike said, maybe get those heads worked and get some rod bolts. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to do head studs or at least ARP bolts when you do the head swap along with some GM MLS gaskets.
