Default 5.0 and NOS

how much NOS will kill a 200K mile motor. How long would this motor last on a 50 shot? How much nos will a 5.0 Handle old or new and how and will this hurt the motor in any way?

50 shot is fine.. as for how much it'll handle?? depends on how well you tune it to run with NOS, WHEN adding 125 to 150 ..timing needs to be retarded 2 degrees for every shot of 50 hp over 125 to 150 and at that point a step colder on plugs and wet systems are ethe best for what you intend to do= less chance of having a lean A/F....AND WITH nos THERE ARE NO GAURANTEES

Nitrous won't kill it. A poor tune and rpm will.
