Default new to nitrous... so this may be a dumb question

how much can a stock ls6 block take. i am in the process of gathering all my parts. so far i will have lg longtubes and a vararam intake and plan on spraying a 150 direct port by nitrous outlet. i would really like to put a cam in the car also. so my question is right now the average they have been getting out of the kit i am putting on is 150hp and 240+ tq. I don't want to put a cam in my car and then spray the 150 to it and pass the limits of the stock block and blow it up.

any thoughts on my dumb question

this will all be done within 3 weeks from now. just have to wait for my intake to come back from nitrous outlet

575-600+ is starting to push it. If you do decide to put a cam in it, jus' lower the jet shots if you'll feel more comfortable about it. Realistically, I'd count on a 150/200 boost in HP/TQ from a 150 shot. Jus' don't want you to get your hopes up!

Not sure what vehicle this is but I'm assuming it's a ZO6? If so, you should have no problems tapping into the 500/500 territory.
