Do some other stuff like gears, driveshaft, and full exhaust.

Who did the tune? If you can't afford to blow it up, don't put nitrous on it. There is no safe threshold. We've seen blown motors at 350 rwhp - 1,000 rwhp. We've seen stock blocks handle 500-600 rwhp with no problem. Like I said earlier, don't put nitrous on it if you can't afford a new motor.

IMHO,if this is your DD and your worried about
blowing it up,and its your first time with nitrous..

I would leave the kit alone and save up for a
built shortblock. Besides,you'll need a nitrous
tune also,which is more expenses on top of
what you already paid for.Not to mention all
the supporting hardware required (imo only)
to monitor the nitrous.If you wanna spray it
safe you gotta know whats going on with
your system at all times.

If theres anything to spend money,I would
get a wide band gauge,but thats just me.

just my .02 worth :thumb:

Enjoy,post some pics :clap:
