how much nitrous you think could be used on that piston, and what is the lead time on this motor for completion

I would be comfortable with a 75-100 shot. Anything more than that and you should use a nitrous piston. Lead time is zero. These are built and ready to go. If you want to do a custom one with a different piston lead time is very short.

Beautiful!!!

What would be the piston of choice, and price difference, to reliably hold a 175-250 direct shot? Assuming the rest of the internals are up to the challenge

I like what I see

I would like to know also. Are there any issues with sleeves dropping on a large nitrous hit say 250-300 shot. This looks like a great package.

We have had 0 issues with dropping sleeves. I don't know of any of our customers running large nitrous shots with these sleeved cases.

Assuming proper piston choice, how much boost can this shortblock take? Any issues with the resleeved LS2 block when it is run under boost?

Assuming everything in your fuel system is correct, we feel comfortable running up to 30psi. The weak link may be the stock main caps and in this case, recommend upgrading to our Option 3 case which includes Katech steel billet main caps.

Dang.

Noone running a 200 or 250 on these sleeved blocks yet you're comfortable with 30# of boost
