Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? If you get the right bottom end stuff a resleeved ls6 block should handle 250 just fine, BTW I think I found the nitrous kit I want.

Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? Great thread would love to see what people have to see on this subject. Allan at FMS has assured me that his resleeved blocks can take the 200-250 shots. for 300+ shots they can do a ceramic piston coating for not too much extra.

Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? I'm pretty sure also about Allans motors shooting up to a 250. I'll ask him next time I talk to him. I would imagine a single 300 all at once would be the max. Just to clarify, I am talking single stage for the original question.

Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? I know if I was spraying that much, it would be direct port and progressively controlled. do you plan on doing a standard wet kit for that high of a shot???

Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? Terry, so do you think a 250 is on the edge?
Alex, this is for a direct port setup in the future.

Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block?
I believe the ARE car is a resleeved aluminum block. They have to be spraying 400-500hp
Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? ARE calculated their rwhp to be around 1100 with their 162 mph trap speeds and their 3200# raceweight. So even if that motor was putting down an unreal 600 rwhp they are still hitting it with a 500 shot. And isn't their setup single stage due to class rules? With a good tune, I would worry more about holding the heads to the block then the limitations of the sleeves.

Re: What seems to be the limit for nitrous on a resleeved block? My ARE 382 SR is a resleeved aluminum with Ross Racing pistons. I'm going to spray 300 on it regularly and up the dosage when I'm ready to break stuff.
