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.

i have had great luck with dimond.
i run a dimond shelf pistion in B-Mans car with a 125 and no issues knock on wood, she is doing great.
10.4 @ 129 3700 pound car!

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.
