Default help with deciding how large off a shot

I have a full bolt on 6 speed car with nitrous I am looking at spraying a 150 to 200 shot would a 200 shot be to much or can a stock ls1 bottem end handle it?

How I typically explain it to people on stock bottom ends is this. 150 is where you still have some safety margin. If you want to go to 200 we need to talk about your tuneup, is this a daily driver, and can you afford to fix a motor is you happen to hurt it.

A few safety features can really help parts survive along with allowing us to help keep the tune dialed in.

With our progressive you will not need a separate window switch. Give me a shout when you get a chance. I will get you lined out on some parts and we can go over what it takes to make a 200 shot last.

You're doing the right thing, Nitrous Outlet will get you sorted out. FWIW many of of spray 250 on stock motors frequently. It can be done but research and listening is your best friend. Good Luck and shoot me a pm if you have any further questions....

Carter here is a perfect example. He learned a lot very fast. Took his time with his tuneup and now look at him. Plug reading like a pro and spraying a stock bottom end into the 9's.

BTW your recommendation has brought a few people are way for not just parts but also to get some solid tech. I appreciate the support man. It shows when we get call's from people that mention your name.
