with all the goodies to go along with a nitrous kit and a good tune you will be fine with nitrous, just dont over do it and go with too big of a nitrous shot

i would say build the rear end. since the motor will be fine as long as you don't spray way too much. start with a small shot 1st and see how that goes.

Don't mean to change topic but what would rebuilding the rear end involve?

31 spline diff + 31 spline axles. it helps when you want to launch on Slicks at the track.

you will be fine on a 100 shot and even a 125 shot but you will need a tune


id get a tune for any shot just to be on the safe side

Yeah, tuning is cruical! I know some people don't do it with 75-100 shots, but why take that chance! This along with quality parts, proper fuel, and proper installation will be the best way to protect your motor.

I know a couple of guys running a 150 shot on stock internals without issues, but to play it really safe stay around a 100 shot...125 max!
