Default 8.1 nitrous

Sup everyone.

I need to know how much nitrous the 8.1 BB can take. I was thinking around the 200 range at the throttle. Or, 25-50 direct port fogger.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

I had a 200hp shot on mine. Thats about max for the fuel pump to keep up. The fuel presser would drop down then slowly go back up. Be warned 8.1 have brittle pistons. I had nitrous on mine for 2 years before a backfire (my own fault bottle was empty) took out a piston.

It did great with the single nozzle wet kit that I had on it. I'd defiantly stick to a 200hp shot. The only bad thing, it would go through a 15lbs bottle in 4 passes. I'm going to do a direct port and a single nozzle 2 stage to 350hp with a dedicated fuel system. Going to shoot for low 11's.
