383 ls1 Block. - 400 on a progressive?

It's a 383 Wiseco nitrous pistons/hellfire rings. Manley h beam rods. Texas speed forged crank. Arp Everywhere. Can I safely spray a 400 on a progressive direct port with a stand alone and c16 in it?

Are you running C16 in the whole car or just the stand alone?

With you having a dedicated fuel system running C16 your going to be covered for the fueling of the nitrous. Also being you have a dedicated I'd suggest running low pressure for the fuel because low pressure will give more of a fuel adjustment than running a high pressure setup if your regulator is adjustable.

As long as its built to hold the shot and you run a semi safe tune in theory it should hold no problem. At 400hp you definitely need to have the fueling and the tune correct because if not and you have a hiccup then it could cost you a motor.

It will probably take 400 worth....

work up slowly from something like 800 to 1000lb/hr of nitrous....Have someone flow your system, you keep the nitrous to fuel ratio right, and the timing low and it will be fine.
