Default Spray plus boost

Anybody spraying on a supercharged 5.3 with stock bottom end? I'm toying with the idea of a 100 shot in front of a twin screw pumping 8 psi on a NNBS 5.3 iron block. Any horror stories, tips, etc....
I know most guys don't like to divulge info on their N2O set-ups but you can chime in on "past" experiences or "buddies" set-ups.

On a newer engine, I wouldn't be so sure.. I have run 18psi with a 50 shot on my truck and no complaints.

You think, or you know? LOL, I "think" so too but others think not, there are loads of supercharged mustangs spraying more than that on stock Ford blocks. I want to believe a properly tuned LSX motor can take more abuse than a Ford engine.

Only 1 way to find out. Make sure the TUNE is SPOT on. I would turn the boost up, run a smaller shot. Oh yah have spare trans.

Oh yeah, one more valuable point, my DA in Colorado is usually 7000 feet, so my 8 psi of boost is more like 5 psi at sealevel.

I would turn the boost down, and run a larger shot.

Boost = higher IAT's, so if you have both, I'd run less boost and more nitrous.

Ive run 6psi with a 50 shot, and also run 9psi with the 50 shot..
100 shot is a big step.
Id start out at 50 and work it up slow and see what happens.. Pulling timing each step to make sure.
