How Much
How Much I've had nitrous on both of my "hot rods" so I'm not quite a noob. But I'm not sure what is "too much" for my new set-up. The place I bought my motor parts from says about 200.. but I was just wondering from real nitrous guru's.
Its a forged 347, with daimond pistons and -2cc valve reliefs. I already have the cometic .040 gaskets and the heads are currently 62cc cambers that were going to be cut down to 59cc before it was all put together. It will be a big cam, and the DCR was going to be high...around 8.5-8.7 depending on final cam specs.. I was really only planning on a 100 or 150 usually, and a 200 hit here and there. But now I'm thinking I might want to spray more.. What is safe with such a tight quench and the 59cc chambers??
What if I left the heads at 62cc chambers? Wonder if I would lose power on motor, and how much more I could spray to make it up?
Thanks for any help!

Fuel, wont be a problem with the dual in-tank set up, -8 feed, and the stock feed for a return. I just dont know how much the "quench" could limit the amount safely sprayed. I've also heard about it not being so safe with the stock heads being cut down so thin....
What are you using for the rotating assembly?
If you have a well built lower rotating assembly and head studs I would not be afraid to hit it with more. 250 to 300 should be fine.
Compression will not be a limiting factor to how much you can spray. Now one cam may work better with nitrous than the next but for a street car I always suggest cutting a good NA cam and rolling with it.
We have some great sponsors that are alot better at cam advice than I am. I would hit one of them up.

Thanks Dave, the 250-300 is what I was looking for. I was planning on doing a good n/a cam for around town power etc..then just hitting it with whatever I could do "safely" and not be "stupid" and break parts...
150 first stage, and 150 second sounds good to me!
