Default Forged Motor How much can it take?

My current setup is listed in my profile but I have a forged 347 motor with diamond pistons (2cc reliefs), eagle h rods. The motor has current stock compression and it has an NX dual nitrous setup on it currently. I am ordering a timing tuner for my car so I can hopefully spray it more and maybe a little safter then I currently am. I currently have a 175 rwhp shot on it and it seems to hold it fine with no KR, just running a little rich. How much more can I spray on pump gas, or ras gas? Should I go with a 2nd stage on the car? What else do I need to spray the f--k outta my car?

I sprayed that on my stock bottom end (old car was just bolt on), when my new car comes back it's getting two stages at around a 300 shot hopefully. It depends on what I can hook on a 275 MT radial. It is just a street car

So most likely its a bad idea to try to hit mine with a 300 then? I was thinking of slowly increasing jet size to see how it goes and put it on the dyno. I dont have a clue if I can even drive my car with a 300 shot anyway! It's hard enough on the 175 with the 6 speed

no way would i run a kit like yors to 300. call me crazy, but no way.
200 would end it for me, maybe 250 if i felt daring which im sure i would. lol
the dyno wont do ****. 1 second on spray on the dyno isnt a full pass. no heat you should be fine. take it down the track and i gut 5 bucks says |#7 dont live to see many more runs

I understand what your saying I don't want to blow the car apart! When I changed my plugs recently it was weird... #1 and #8 looked the worst. I need to get it running right and maybe spray it a 225... and see how it acts. But yah 300 didn't sound like a good idea but you know
