I dont think a 50 to 100 would hurt anything....over in L world its pretty much the norm, and some have gone way over that......but I'm not sure how the different configurations affect it.

I agree. Something would have to give. I would be nervous about spraying and boosting that much on a built bottom end.

Why would it blow up? With enough fuel and retarded timing (ie good tune), wouldn't it be fine? I mean nitrous cools the air right? Or is it just a matter of too much air in too tight of a space (9.2:1 compression ratio)?

I think the guy means he has nitrous on his truck but not a Radix. He's asking if anyone sprayed through a Radix because he wants one to compliment his nitrous(or vice versa ) He said he has NX so that means he has a wet shot.
Is it okay to spray fuel through the Radix???

No experience myself with it but I have read a lot about it. In my opinion dry shot at 50-75 is all I would try on a truck you need on a regular basis. Would probably need tuning. Obviously there are wet kits but dangers in introducing fuel into the SC. Flyer touched on it. Backfires can be hazardous. Some poor souls have seperated the SC from thier engines from backfires. Probably the best way to do it is wet kit introducing the NOS at the fuel injectors... not a whole lot of room on the radix for this setup.

You gotta remember, that the nitrous will be different on a supercharged application. From experience a 50 shot will produce 80+ at the wheels. You are also cooling the air going thru the supercharger making it more efficient too. The 5.3 & 6.0s are pretty stout as far as stock internals go, but id say you will be very pleased if you shoot a safe 75 shot on your rig.

Get it tuned right, and keep some big octane handy and you can have a lot of safe fun.

Yeah, it wouldn't necessarily throw a fireball as BigTex suggests. But All of the N20 and Boost is excessive strain on parts, resulting in slinging a rod or something of that nature. N20 injects at/ or around -100-127F degrees and the CR for the 4.8/5.3 is 9.45:1.

I think I'm running 24* of timing at wot. a/f is critical, I run12-12.5:1
I've got 104 in a fuel cell w/ an in line pump that supplies the fuel side of my 2 stage wet kit. I spray a 175 shot so far and I don't think 200 will be a problem w/ this set up. We'll find out come springtime. I'll bet the tranny goes 1st.
