How Much Nitrous Can The Stock Pistons Handle?

-
If you believe that. YOU you are dumber than we thought.
Oh brother, don't tell me that you don't know what it cost to do a stock rebuild? A pure stock drag racing engine is strictly a factory engine. The only extra cost is the extra machine work that they may want to do. What I said could be done is right from the rule book. I'm not going to explain it again go see for yourself.

keep clicking those ruby slippers together danny.

*a race motor is factory*
*all it takes is more machine work*
*nobody deviates from the rule book*

anyway, no need to explain anything because you clearly don't know jack **** about race motors of any kind, sort or type.
 
I'm done. Carry on

Fib much.... another subsequent post. Just to fuel your ignorance, the rules you state are similar to someone racing stock eliminator in NHRA and saying the engine and components are OEM stock. Far from it on some of them.

LOL why??? Just stop... Ignore is the best approach with you.

This is easy. You can run this much nitrous.

I bet you could squeeze a 250hp wet shot out of it if the rings were gapped correctly, tune was right, and you used a progressive controller. IMO the trick with keeping a motor alive with nitrous is to ramp it in rather than hit it all at once.

Perhaps, but you're talking about someone having to have years of nitrous tuning experience. The average car guy does not.
 
There have been thousands of good engines ruined from playing around with NOS on cast piston engines.

Unless you can afford the trouble and expense of rebuilding it I would forget the idea.

If you want to play with NOS get some good pistons, connecting rods with extra heavy wrist pins, and an extra fuel line to keep it from leaning out.

To each there own

That's the best way. Good pistons really aren't that expensive. What is it they say? Buy once, cry once?

Engines for pure stock drag racing are Engines that are blueprinted and highly tuned. As I've said several times before they are totally stock.

okay buddy, that sounds pretty knowledgeable. you've done the research and seem to know what you're talking about. i'll take your word for it.

*winks*
*nods*

He is married to a gal named Alexa and has Google. He knows all.
So nothing he can tell me is first hand. So put you back on ignore.
If and when Dan really does something himself to post about i will change that.
The constant Dan post he studied or researched are like the scene in Ferris Buller's Day Off Simone (Kristy Swanson)

IF your rings are gapped correctly, the tune is correct, plenty of fuel supply and the engine doesn’t have any mechanical issues, you’re probably safe at the 100 horsepower level. For how long is anybody’s guess. You take a chance on the engine destroying itself every time you turn the key on.

Nitrous will destroy a well built, forged piston, forged crank, forged rod engine just as fast as it will a junkyard engine. It’s ALL in the tune up.
 
Or, you can just hit ignore like I did.
He will still PM you asking for opinions and to post to his threads until you block that too.
And if you do respond and he don't like it PM you again to say he is reporting you and you will be gone.
He is not the nice, poor Dan he post on open fourms.
 
I would not go more than a hundred shot. As discussed tune is very important make sure you have adequate fuel supply. Also it's how long you pull the trigger.
 
I thought NOS was like torque for a bolt you tighten till it brakes then back off some.
Oh well guess I was wrong.,
Sorry......
