Opinions: how long will it last?
Thinking about spraying a 125 shot TNT kit, 96 LT1. My bday is coming up in June so I figured a n2o kit would be nice 
How long do you think my engine will last if I only spray it at the track every once in awhile? It doesn't burn any oil and runs like it's brand new. Do you think it's safe?

well my 100% stock longblock lasted 2.5 years with anywhere from a 125-175 shot. only reason i took it apart,was to build a stroker. everything inside looked perfect.
as long as it is tuned right,it will last a very long time.

Hey your engine will handle 125, possibly for ever. What will destroy it is hitting the squeeze below 3000rpn, a drop in fuel pressure(lean mix) or predetination. Eliminate these three and youll have many years of "holy Sheeeeat"!

One thing that would tend to do more damage than usual is running a full 0-150mph pass on the spray. 
Seriously, sustained nitrous for long periods of time can do more damage than bursts, since the cylinder temps get so hot.
