Default How much nitrous will a 5.3 hold

A friend is wanting to set up a separate fuel system and put 250hp of nitrous on his 5.3 for a local dyno day. Do think it will hold this much or will hold more? Or will it go ?

i think the general max on this board is about a 125 shot safely, now if your talking stroker with forged internals then thats a different story.

I have ran a 220 shot a bunch of times, watch the timing & fuel though because I have ruined a few sets of plugs like this.
