100 shot of nitrous on 360 magnum engine

I have not read the whole three pages of this thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned, but....
Episode 13 of engine masters (available on you tube) showed a couple big nitrous shots on a stock bottom end cast piston 305 Chevy. A 250 shot got it to 600+hp. A 300 shot blew it up (which was what they wanted). However, late lamented Mopar nitrous guru Monte Smith said It shouldn't have blown up, and it WOULDN'T have, if they had just pulled enough timing out of it.
I found that insight very telling.
I'm sure this thread has a bunch of good advice. I'm gonna read it now, cause I have a edelbrock rpm system to try..... some day.
