Default 200 plus safe or not?

i am going to be running a nitro daves wet plate with a 150 for now...i have a timing tuner and a dynotune lean shutoof for safety precautions along with heater, opener and all the other goodies. i want to go up to a 200 shot possibly dual stage. i will be getting a standalone to dedicate to the nitrous and run c-16 in it. with the dedicated fuel system and a second stage is it safe to run a 200 shot or 250 max on stock bottom end ls1? i will be having it tuned for nitrous aswell. please let me know.

I suggest a 75 shot and learn from there. yes you can spray a stock bottom with a 250 lots of people have done it but I would not say its safe.

Even though you have the dedicated and a good tune with a 200hp - 250hp shot on a stock bottom end is pushing it. Your tune and Nitrous tune needs to be right on cause at that level on stock parts the slightest mistake will result in engine go boom. It can be done but you have to be ready cause it's not a matter of will it blow but when it will blow.
