    30. dollars for one 10lb bottle, jeez, now what would i need to do to a ls block to make it handle more than 50 shot. would i need just pistons and rods and rod bolt, and new bearings.

    See i planed by the end of the year i would buy a b18c5 motor form hmotors. then work on getting todo cams and valvetrain, but i also was thinking bout building a block and either runing alot of nitrous or alot of boost. I cant make up my mind though, but for now i would like a 50 shot.

    i think it would handle a 75 shot (wet) just fine. i think you should build your block for boost i like nitrous but when the bottle is empty no more power with a turbo that power is always there.why not just turbo the motor you have at a low boost like 5-7 psi???
    yes i am....

    SO i could do 75 shot just fine on my block with out burning up the motor. I've been told my piston rings will burn up or something and that nitrous shortens the life of the motor, but i only look at having the motor by the end of the year.

    it will shorten the life of the motor if your timing isnt adjusted correctly or if you run lean while spraying. just remeber a colder plug,w.o.t switch, some kind of timing control when system is armed and since you would use a wet kit a fuel pressure regulator or something to make sure you have the correct fuel pressure.i know there are saftey switches to prevent spraying in the case of a drop in fuel pressure.just dont cut corners and a 75 shot will work perfectly nitrous has been given a bad name because its be used incorrecty for so long. you can do just as much damage with boost if you half ass it.so do it right the first time and enjoy the extra horsepower responsibly
    yes i am....

    You going to the Varsity thursday? I wanna see exactly what you are working with before I recommend anything having to do with nitrous. Nitrous isn't dangerous at all when set up and tuned right, as long as you aren't hitting it every other light.
