Would you do it?
I'm seriously considering adding nitrous to my car. Nothing too excessive, I'm thinking a 100 shot. Wet shot, of course, since y'all say a wet shot is better than a dry shot, at least from what all I've read so far. But my question is, would you put a 100 shot on a stock LT1 with 171k miles? I mean, it runs great, has decent oil pressure (again, just going by what I've read on here, it's supposedly decent oil pressure for it's age), but with that kind of mileage it kinda worries me. I will have some bolt ons by the time I get around to adding nitrous, but it will still be the stock bottom end, stock heads, and stock cam. Should I be worried? Or will it be fine? I've read some slightly conflicting info on here about that, some people say it's fine on a high mileage engine, some say it won't last. But what do the majority of y'all think?
Thanks!

I would use a 75 shot and start saving a rebuilt motor fund

Motor may be fine, but thats a lot of miles on an automagic, and of course, the lovely 10bolt...
I would spend the money on either bolt ons, suspension work, or a motor/trans/rear end fund.

This, been down this road before, defianitly need to build the car to handle the power. In my mind I would much rather spend money when I wanted to, as opposed to when I broke something.

Thanks for the input guys, I think I'll just wait on N20 a little while then.
