Default GM 454 H.O. How much?

Im looking at the gm 454 from jegs and summit check it out HERE its got all forged internals and car craft made 926 hp on the stock short block with heads cam and a supercharger. So wouldnt it take at least a 200shot? or maybe a 250 or 300? what do you guys think.

(I know this aint LS1 but this is one of the most knowledgable places I know and one of the only one that gets a response without waiting a week. So if you know any good BBC/SBC forums that would be appreciated)

Yes at least a 200 shot and probably more than likely be able to do 400. Remember to retard timing. Somehow. The compression is good. It will be able to run more nitrous with lower compression like the blowers do. Like good and will make some power.

so you think a 300 shot would be a safe bet? I dont think i would want to spray much more than that.

I see that is says forged pistons,rods,etc.Do you have more info.What brand crank,rods and pistons?
It will atleast hold a 200 shot with no problem.Depending on what internals you can probley spray more.

I have a 502" crate motor w/ forged internals and I was told that the pistons/crank/rods could handle it. You have to watch out for the rod bolts and wrist pins, I guess they're the weak link.

i was gonna do arp rod bolts before i put it in the truck since it would be alot easier than and theyre not really expensive. Id like to spray a 250 at least and a 300 would be wicked.
