I am looking into doing full headwork and am curious about people running gas (N20 for the slow minds). I am looking to keep my stock bottom end for now but spending some $$$ on the head (bottom end will come later), the Q is will the stock bottom end hold a 65 shot of ZEX all the way to 9k rpm??? I know that's a LOT of stress on the bottom end...I'd back it off to a 55 shot if need be but I like my bottle, I like the revability of my engine and the engine is a tight running engine, thats why no bottom end work now. The headwork will include either
a) skunk2 stg 2, full valvetrain, p&p, 3 angle, pm IM & TB (9k rpm shift probably)
b) CTR cams, full valvetrain, same as above except shifting a 8500.
I'm thinking b might be my best choice for now but a would make more power. Biggest Q is about the N20, but would like some suggestions as to the head also.

 

Okay, got a smoking deal on CTR cams, now does anybody now about the Bottle on the 8500-8700 revs? I am assuming it will be fine but would like slight reassurance.

 

I would assume it'd be fine, I know they are fine at 8400. I hope you have considered suspension/tires for traction, you're gonna need it! But happy spraying, welcome to the darkside

 

Before I'd do head work with n2o I'd at LEAST get new rings.I've talked to a few companys and they all had the same thing to say,about it.Be conservative and all good (with between a 35-55 shot) start spraying up hills and at every light when you get revved on and you'll blow something.

 

It's all in the tuning....Being conservative is right, but you can run a 75 shot no problem as long as it's tuned correctly, and you use it responsibly.

 

I've had the bottle before in a hb w/ a mild LS engine. I sprayed a 65 shot, I do know wha tI doing as far as reliability but my concern is at 8500 rpms and a 55 shot of juice might be a little much for the bottom end. Rings are in good shape, I'm going to a dyno in Feb to get the car tuned so I can make the most out of my bottle and engine.
