One of our employees has been spraying 200-250hp on a factory 5.3 with a cam for awhile now, with no issues. Lots of people on this forum have done 200+ also. Keep your tuneup safe, and it should live for awhile that way, you are dealing with a factory motor though, so keep that in mind if you are worried about hurting anything.

1. Is this possible without any issues... NO, spraying that much on a stock engine is more than recommended. 150 is more of a "recommended" shot. Would I spray 200 on it? Yes. You need to be accepting of the fact it could go wrong.

2.What ET's do you run now? Obviously the slower you are naturally aspirated, the more you will pick up when on nitrous.


Tune Up: Colder plugs, Pull timing, Solid ANR.. Make sure you have the fuel capabilities to support that much nitrous as well.
