So you think it will be OK to run a 100 shot with no tune on a 93?

you should always have a good tune when running boost

he is right, with a wet shot theoretically their is no limit to the added horsepower. only the limits of the engine are what stop you. I was lookin in summit and i saw keith black sil-o-lite pistons are only like 180 bucks for a .030 over set! but they are hyperutetic, after i saw that i went psh not for my motor. but after hearing you i am thinkin about it now.

DON'T! Remove those thoughts from your head. You will be kicking yourself later for building a new, fresh motor and handicapping it from the start because you wanted to save $220 on pistons. That's a small price in the grand scheme of things. Just because you "can" do something doesn't mean you should. You compete in the Special Olympics because you were born a retard. You don't start eating paint just so you can compete. You use hypereutectic motor when that's what you have. You don't build them from scratch.

LMFAO

and good advice

So in-other-words what your saying is that the block can handle it; but the driver cannot?

Anything over 150hp and you're relying too much on the person actually knowing what they're doing. That's a BAD thing when you're just recommending things to total strangers over the internet. This is when you get threads about pooling, backfires, etc. Inexperienced people give nitrous a bad name. It's the same guys that say 347s burn oil. If you know what you're doing, it's not a problem. But I don't blame them for not knowing. It comes with time. You don't just start sparying 250hp on stock shortblocks and not make mistakes.
