? about nitrous

i have a 91' 5.0 hatchback, and it has a few mods-c/a intake, full exhaust, underdrive pullies, electric fan, 3;73 rear gears. but my car has 130,000 miles on it and hasnt been rebuilt in any way, i was wondering if a 75-100hp dry shot of nitrous would put an end to my engine or would my car be able to take the beating.

A stock engine can take up to 150hp shot of nitrous. Beyond that you will need a built bottom end. The key is to retard your timming 2 degrees for every 50hp of nitrous.

Will it help your engine make an earlier exit than w/o.... yes! Anytime you add more power output your putting more starin on the motor.

Is it a big enough problem where one or two times of a 100 shot of nitrous your gonna take out your motor... If it is in good shape and still has decent compression then I would do it and have no quams cause it can still last a long time.
