Can I run Nos??

I have a 350 small blk with a mild cam and as far as i know the rest is stock. I herd i would have to get forged pistons is this true??

You don't HAVE TO... you don't have to do anything, but if you want to be on the safe side, I mean, I would. How much of a shot r u planning to run?

man dont do nitrous, well if you really want to go ahead, unless your plannin on racing for money, cause that motor aint gonna last as long, you would be better off spending money on heads, top end parts etc.. to gain hp... i wouldnt mess with nitrous, you can use it with stock internals if plan on rebuliding the motor very very soon, lol, just my :2cents:

nos is the cheap easy way to go for a bit of power but will kill motor really quick so if you want nos i suggest lowering compresion new tie rods and pistons and u said mild cam may want to change that the best thing i suggest is not to run nos but go with a wicked cam and huge carb with new manifold and exhuast for a little more then nos.

I've run nitrous on many hyperutetic piston'd cars without problems. It's perfectly save if installed correctly. Don't get too crazy with the jetting and you're good to go.

look at Edelbrocks Performer RPM package, i got that (Cylinder Heads, Cam, Intake Manifold, and carb) and 1.6 aluminium roller rockers headers MSD, and exhaust thats 500 HP

What? Uninformed is the word of the day for this threat:rolleyes: Ran nitrous on my motor for 2 years. Been without the nitrous for about 8 months now and just broke 100k on top of that. This is all from a 95 LT1. If you pay attention, know what you're doing, and have a small bit of luck, you'll be just fine. There are more than a couple guys over on camaroz28.com who ran 250hp shots on STOCK pistons/rods/crank. I wasn't QUITE at that point, but pretty darn close. Nitrous safety has a lot less to do with your jet sizes than it does with the fuel system you build to support it. If you really want to be safe, DO NOT SCIMP ON THE FUEL SYSTEM!

However, take what I wrote above with a grain of salt. Nitrous is perhaps the most intense way of making power in a motor that there is. Even with internals, fuel system upgrades and the like, you could get it and hit WOT for the first time and damage your whole motor. Sometimes it just can't be avoided. But there certainly are ways to minimize your risk.

well, i think tie rods are great for steering, but you might look into connecting rods for your engine ;)

oh and self, you got big brass ones as far as im concerned, i would never run nitrous on a stock LT1, the crappy spark ignition system is just to unreliable. which also brings me to the suggestion for an aftermarket ignition system. if your car has a engine cut off at a certain speed, factory systems cut fuel, but nitrous keeps spraying, and spark keeps igniting, which leads to boom. almost all aftermaket systems are designed to cut spark for this reason. so either disable your stock fuel cutoff, or find out where it is, and set the aftermarket ignition below that by a few mph or rpms, whichever. but other than that self is right on the money, do not skimp on the fuel system, and so long as you arent recless with it, you can run nitrous on a stock engine. although 50-100 is all i would suggest. but to be honest, my personall advice for anyone looking at a power adder of any type, is to build the engine for it from the beginning. but thats just me.

Well I do like to think I'm the guy who does the impossible. But I didn't mean on a completely stock car. I just meant stock internals. Everyone above my posts was saying that running nitrous is automatic death for your motor. Which, while it can be, usually isn't the case. I was just pointing out that with a proper setup, nitrous can be very safe and reliable. Going with a completely built motor from the ground up is definately the best way to do it. But also definately not the ONLY way to do it. With a proper fuel system AND ignition system AND tune, you can get the motor to handle a bigger shot that 95% of people will ever even think of trying.

agree'd but i still dont like that ignition system ;)
