Question Stock Piston & Nitrous

I am making 401/Hp Tq/377 I am still on the stock pistons. If I spray it down with 100hp wet shot of nitrous will the stock pistons hang? If so, how long??
Thanks & I hope I posed this in the right place...

I had the fastest street, Daily driven, Turn key4, dose not over heat, can drive in traffic ride in my county. 401hp/377tq n/a, no juice. Fawkn cheby guy in town dropped a 383 w/ alloy heads in his '85 vet. n/a with a carb just like me. with all the extra cubes he is dusting my panties off by about a 1/2 a car length stop light to stop light. I want to bolt the performance on for time, convenience & money reasons. Not at the cost of a piston....

jesus, I hope you really dont talk like that....

with my 1989 motor with forged pistons I used 100 and 150 shot, and the piston's and eveything else looked fine when I tore that motor down.


my new motor has hyper pistons. I will be starting with a 150 shot, and moving up to a 200 If I need to hit my goals.......


you will be fine as long as you drop the timing right, and run good gas.

I have an MSD 6AL2+. It comes with a single stage timing retard of up to 15 degrees. So right now I am @ 37 degrees total timing. When I toss the switch how many degrees should I set my MSD to take out as a base starting point.

I don't know much about the SN95 computers. But I would think you would would need to drop your timing through the tune.
