You should never spray a stock motor with over 100k on it. Personally I'd never spray a car period

 

100 shot isn't a big deal. You're putting the motor under the same strain/power level with a cam-only swap, but aren't revving it as high with nitrous compared to a cam swap.

Moving....

 

Check it out totally mechanically before you spray it. If it's got good oil pressure and compression then you could be ok for a small to medium shot.
But if the oil pressure is low or the compression isn't what it should be then I'd forget the spray until you have rebuild money in your pocket.

 

Why???? It is an LS engine tech question, isn't it?

 

Asking about mileage on a car and asking about if you can use nitrous on a stock motor isn't really a "tech" question IMO.

 

agreed! but we forgive you! lol

 

I turbo'd my car at 120k drove it all summer at 8-9psi. The only thing I replaced was the optispark. Car is still running strong. Motor is stock. Just be ready to rebuild / replace motor if it explodes. I just got lucky so far I guess.

 

Completely different motor...
