Default What Nitrous Shot??

Opinions please as to what a safe Nitrous Shot would be on my car.

LPE 383 Stroker consisting of the following parts: 11.2-1 CR

J.E. Custom(forged) Pistons
Callies Crank
Manley Rods

LPE LS6 heads
LPE Stainless Intake Valves
Inconel Exhaust Valves

Nitro Dave's 90mm plate system

Racetronix Pump with plug and play harness and Kenne Bell 20amp BAP.

42# SVO Injectors

Any other info needed?

If they are nitrous pistons then you should be able to hit a 250+hp shot. If they are just a forged piston then 200hp could be done and maybe a 250hp shot but no more than that. It would be best to contact JE or LPE to see what those pistons are rated to. Also ring gap will play a factor in how much you can spray also.

Checking on the pistons...got the # for them from LPE. Rings are as follows top gap 0.022/ end gap 0.028/ Oil Rng 3mm. I was thinking max of 250 anyway but was hopeful to maybe go 300 at some point.
