The internal's of the motor will outlast the block.

don't go over a 150 shot and you will be fine.

I might as well throw in a nitrous question,

So you need a higher octane fuel for the bigger the shot you do?

yes, it keeps the motor safe. Highest ive run is 91 octane, and ive been fine. But when I feel like blowing this motor to hell, and hit it with a 200shot, I will use a little race fuel.
(ive never sprayed the motor without at least 91octane in the tank)

A guy I talk to at the track (has a H/C/I 347 on nitrous run's low 11's up here) Has a little fuel tank, like 2 gal, that feed's his nitrous kit. It sit's where his batt. use too. He said its much simpler to run it like that then having to deal with the gas in the tank. But he had it fully set up with its own pump and what ever its called that he can set the pressure and such.

If your really set on using nitrous alot it would be a good invesment I think, but that is a ton of work, and call me a sissy, but I dont like the idea of having a fuel tank that close to my engine.
