.

Depends on the rings location. With good crank & rods the next thing to go is the rings or piston edge usually. I've seen too many thing go bad with big hits and high rings.

Pill it to you kill it, then back it down the next time.

Good advice from mrdragster1970. N2O pistons are a must, ring lands are usually the first thing to go.

Learn how to read the plugs and/or install a exhaust gas sensor or even better a wide band sensor. I don't think there is any magic number that someone can tell you, to many variables involved. You might spray 300+ with the right ignition system retard and everything setup right or you could burn it down with a 200 shot if things aren't right.
