The ported stock intake can take as much as you can throw at it. It's the head flow, cam profile, and exhaust restrictions that is the limiting factor.

LoL My combo will be all forged 4340 with ported 200cc Pro 1 heads. headers will be kooks or obx with a 3.5in Ypipe & 4in mufflex single dual 3 out set up Oh & my throttle body is a 58mm tpis. They talked me out of a monoblade lol Custom cam 24x/25x @ .05 & .6xx lift Built 4L60E with around a 3200 stall & 3.73 or 4.10 gears. Suspension will be UMI adjustable stuff with the torque arm relocated Ive got all my nitrous stuff except a few safety things & the twin 255 walbros Gotta smoke them fords lol & I wanna make that old ford look silly LoL
Ive got all my nitrous stuff except a few safety things & the twin 255 walbros Gotta smoke them fords lol & I wanna make that old ford look silly LoL Did you edit your original post? That or I mis-read it. I don't remember seeing anything said about a NX MAF end kit 
If your using a NX MAF end kit I would limit that to a 200 shot. With a plate you can go up to 300 shot if you really know how to read plugs and tune. If you are not an experienced nitrous tuner, stick to a 200 shot or less.

Guess I will get a Direct Port plumbing kit after my cars painted & rollin under its own power I did ask about maf ends ,plates & dual nozzles. The direct port will do as much as I need @ 300 or 400. LoL Most of the time itll be rollin with 200. Just want to make a ford look stupid.

If a directport is not an option I would use our LT1 efi plate. It will do a much better job saturating the air intake charge than the Mass air dicharge ends or a nozzle in the airstream. The mass air kit is nothing more than there shark nozzle machined into a mass air end.
Even using our plate as you move up from 200 to 300 hp you better be on your A game reading the spark plugs. The plugs will tell you when you have reached a point of poor distribution to the cylinders and which cylinders are your hot cylinders. Every engine is different.

One thing to also note, on a stock LT1 intake, the #8 intake runner is aligned with the back wall of the intake which directs more air/nitrous to that particular cylinder. Results in leaner condition compared to the other cylinders. If you do a direct port, you will not have to worry about this as much compared to using a nozzle or plate setup.
