Default How big is safe?

Forged 383 (compstar crank, 6" rods and SRP pistons), 238/246 .592/.592 112LSA cam, Single plane intake, 4 barrel TB, Halo plate, MSD digital 6, TH400 with a T brake, Nitrous converter, 3.90 gears (12 bolt). how big of a shot would you guys feel safe running through this? probably gonna start with a 200, just not sure how much i should press my luck from there.

oh and its an LT1

Motor is forged right. Hell a 200 shot will go down nicely. Ive seen guys hit 400 on a forged motor. Just watch the plugs. They tell the tale.

Start at 150, its safer to start from there then work up from there.

Yo Josh, as long as everything is tuned correctly you should be fine for a big hit of n2o. Just make sure you have your ring gaps set up to run a big hit if you plan on spraying alot. You may also want to look into a standalone fuel system. Good Luck man, and I can't to see this thing fly! Get home safe!

sorry, i forgot to mention that it has a stand alone too. im having the motor built while im still over in the sand box but the builder knows that its getting hit with a lot of nitrous so hopefully he set up the ring gaps for it.

thanks for the replies guys
