Default Nitrous on 90,000 Highway Mile Car? Help!

I have a 98 SS with almost 90,000 miles. Could it handle a small shot of nitrous? How big a shot would be safe? The car was owned by an older gentleman and driven 60 miles roundtrip to work everyday. Never on the track. Never abused. How big of a shot could it handle safely, Safe being the key word. Maybe a 75hp shot. What kind of 1/4 mile times could I expect with just an SLP lid, and 3:42 Auburn Rear end and 6 speed hurst? Dry or Wet System? I just want something to maybe run a couple of times, not every weekend. Just don't want to blow it up or make it where I can't drive it. Thanks Brandon.

I have 108K on the FRC and I plan on a 150 for it in the next few weeks.

150 with 95k, no problem. Condition of the motor is what counts, not miles.

I had around 130k on my C5, I sprayed about 30 bottles of 150 and never had problems. The car is still on the road with over 200k on it today.

Have a 00 ss with 92k on it. Cam with a 125 wet shot. No problems as of yet. Except for the need of my drag tires.
