Best Piston for Nitrous What are the best pistons to buy for nitrous application? I have a h/c car and want to spray a 100 wet shot. I have been advised against it as my stock shortblock won't handle it. Any advice is appreciated.

Third for the Diamonds, both off the shelf and custom N2O pistons. In all honesty you shouldn't have a problem on the stock bottom end of a H/C car and a 100 shot, as long as the fuel system is up to the task and the tune is good.

I want to say they are "good" for a 200 shot. We've and I'm sure countless others have far exceeded that with no issues, but like always your results may vary.
