You have what sounds like a built bottom end. Go for as big of a shot as you want. Rule of thumb when it comes to nitrous is to not go over power wise what your weakest component will fail at. Such as in D16's going over 250 hp on a stock block is a bad idea as thats where the Rods are no longer reliable.

Get a Wet Nitrous kit for a Chevy V8 off ebay, they are cheap. They will start off with 75hp, 150hp and 300hp jets. start off with 75shot gets and tune it in. We have a thread in the nitrous section on how to do so. If you want more you can swap out to a bigger jet.

Also when calculating fuel jets or getting ready to "massage" your jets with a dremel to make a bigger shot. Use Robby the robots nitrous calculator to figure out what jet sizes you need.

In the nitrous thread it links to the Honda-Tech nitrous thread. before installing it look over everything they have in it and absorb that information. Once tuned correctly nitrous is awesome. make the person in the other lane afraid. :lol: :thumb:
