Default nitrous question

i just got back my car from the shop from getting an engine swap and i had nitrous on the engine before that and i loved it. the question is how big of a shot can i go on stock internals??? im carbuerated, if that makes any difference....and could i still hook up a window switch to spray at certain rpm's???

How big are you looking to go? I wouldn't push it past 150 on a stocker. Just curious, but what are you running for a car / engine? Wondering if the internals were forged or not.

1/2 of the hp you make NA is a really conservative limit and super safe
