You'll be fine. Keep the shot to 125 or less, and with proper accessories and tune, you'll have no problems at all.

I'm running a 100 shot with full bolt ons (and soon to be cams) and a custom tune, and i've never had a single problem in the 2 years that i've had it on.

You're doing a PI swap with stage 2 cams correct? The small compression jump won't be a factor.

Cool! The heads are just stock non ported PI heads correct? Put up a clip if you can. It should sound great with your exhaust.

You will be fine with running nitrous. The bigger shot you go the better the tune you will need. Just be ready to get bored with a 75 shot in the first couple weeks.

Nitrous loves higher compression motors.

I've always wanted to do a nitrous set-up but the price of the accessories has always put a damper on it. What accessories are a must in order to run a safe 100 shot or so?
