Default Big nitrous shot?
At what point do you fill the block? Or half fill?

Race car only. No street.

LS7 block...

Or better off with an RHS 6 bolt block?

I wouldn't use an LS7 block. The stock sleeves are known for cracking very easily. RED and ERL sleeve LS7 blocks all the time.

RHS is kinda expensive for my tastes. I say ERL but its your money.

ERL is certainly in consideration...

I've got the LSX 6 bolt heads... just thinking about the future and where I want to be down the road...

I don't see you outgrowing an ERL superdeck 6 bolt.........

but, at some point I believe filling the block is the prudent thing to do. I'm talking sub 8 second 1/4 times now...

If you are buying a new block and want to stick with nitrous buy a tall deck.
JMO.

No replacement for displacement.

Thanks guys. I guess I though all the big power guys had filled blocks. I'm really leaning towards an ERL at this time.
