What's the safest shot I can run on a stock LM7? I was planning on running a 100-125. I don't want to break anything but it's probably inevitable at this point.

I know Window Switches are extremely important, but can you use N2O temporarily without one? I plan on getting one when I get my next paycheck on Monday.

you'll be fine on a 100-125 shot. just make sure your tuner pulls enough timing, or that lm7 will start singing twisted sister, "we're not gonna take it!"

i wouldn't recommend running without a window switch, or you could be buying a new transmission in the near future.

Nitrous was installed last night, wiring was done tonight. I ran a 75 shot to test out everything. I'm currently running a 125 shot but probably only getting ... 95 - 110 due to the stock exhaust. I had some fun with a Silverado SS and some ricers tonight.

It is gonig to be real hard on your transmission if you are spraying through the shifts. Best bet is to disable nitrous during shift.

there is also a large grommet under the dash, that passes through to the engine bay.

Yea. Instead of hooking up the WOT switch to the pedal I'm using it as a pushbutton switch.

What about a 75 shot on a built fully trans and rear end

would that be a non issue on that set up.

Mods vvvvvvvvv

A fully built transmission should be able to handle whatever the output rating the builder puts on it.....nitrous or not. You should have zero problems spraying a 75 with a nicely built trans.
