Anyway I wouldnt put more than 150 shot on it providing it is a 100% healthy motor and thats 150 rated at the motor, not rear wheel like the nx kits have you jet for. -------------------- .........when was the last time YOU built something with YOUR own hands?

The pistons are the weak link. Run it 'till it blows, then upgrade to a stroker.

Pistons + nitrous = lots of pieces in oil pan Posts: 2316 | From: Vacaville | Registered: Jul 2004  |  : StrokHer ¯ Member # 9244 posted                              Do you guys think it will take a 100 shot easy? stock 302's take 100 shots all day. Posts: 54 | From: Fairfield, Ca | Registered: Jun 2009  |  : 2BlueGeeTees ¯ Member # 4702 posted                              Bottom line is the pistons suck. I think as long as your fuel is dialed in spot on it will run til it blows but it will be fun. Go with the hundred shot but have somebody who is very nitrous savvy dial her in before you hit the go button and remember part of going fast is breaking shit.
