Re: motor questions

I would put a forged piston in it if you are gonna spray it that hard.

Re: motor questions

This is kind of one of those "how high is up" questions

Spraying NOS requires forged pistons...the stock cast pistons are going to be scrap pretty quickly with anything over a 50-75 shot.

So once you're that far into the engine, it becomes a question of budget, etc...because you're basically doing a complete build.
