200 should be ok. 300 shot all wet through the intake could get dicey. May want to run a direct port for that much. or consider a dry/wet dual stage.

Ill have a very pretty wet direct port for sale soon

Extremely rich doesn't neccessarily mean safe. Get your fuel system upgraded and run a proper AF ratio.

300 and up and I'd personnaly use a secondary fuel system. Evryone has their opinions and that's mine

You should not have any problems with 200 or even 250. 300+ go direct port.

One question. Why only 6000 on the window switch? Surely you can go higher on your heads/springs. My shift points are at 6800, with the window switch set at 6800. No problems so far. You never are "safe" with nitrous and drag racing.

Do you intend on shooting out of the hole? If so get either a nitrous controller, or like myself I have a 2-step (connected through my transbrake) that shuts off the nitrous until the T/B is released. Best times so far in signature.

yeah i got some things straightened out. and got the car running 10.40's to 50's on the motor before the tracks closed i know there is more in it. native1 saw me go 10.00 @on a 100shot lifting.went 8.86 on a 350-375 shot. left on a 500 and lifted at the 330 cuz they already got on me for no liscence butwe'll say the 330 on that pass was a good bit quicker than the 330 on the 8.86 pass

The 408 seems to be the way to go for nitrous motor. That will be my next motor after mine goes But i have alot more nitrous to inject into this little guy If i were you i would sell the kit you have a just go to a dp setup and a seprete low pressure fuel system.Thats the way mine is done.And you never have to worry about leaning out one cylinder.

Well you got some fairly accurate responses but none were correct. First I would say the only way to know 100% for sure if your fuel system will support a 200 or even 300 HP shot is to put it on the dyno with a A/F and a read the fuel pressure directly at the rails. Personally I would say if you have stock injectors and only a 255 pump you won't have enough fuel. I run a 300 shot on my 408 set up with more compresson than you have and I run a Walbro 340 intank pump, a Aeromotive Tsunami external pump and SVO 40Lb injectors with dual N20 and fuel noids. I keep the A/F at 11.8/1 minimum or just alittle richer depending on what jets I'm running. I'm getting ready to throw a 450 to 500 HP shot at it and I'm going with a stand alone fuel system just to support the N20. Again to be sure put it on the dyno.
