would my engine last 1 more year?

I have 95 z-28 m6 with 102000 miles on it. Just put in stage II heads and my pistons still looked good. I am planning on rebuilding the bottom of my engine in a year. Basically I want to finish my current engine in a year with no regrets.

My question: is it safe to run nx 100 shot on the stock bottom engine with 100k miles for one year? How often could I use N2O? Could I damage engine with N2O to the point where it could not be rebuilt, using just nx 100 shot?

well i know a guy who lasted 2yrs on a NX 150shot on a stock bottom end and was fine but he leaned out #7 cyl and it destroyed the piston(freak accident)

but on my dad's car we run a 100 shot all the way down the 1/8mi and we have done that for about 1 1/2 years and have no problems so you will be fine with the 100 shot as long as you make sure that you have enough fuel and your bottom end will be rebuildable

what else can go wrong

I am not too familiar, but what else could go wrong besides pistons? What usually fails when you use n2o?

I personally think you'll be ok. But u never know how someones car will react to the n20...but u should be fine IMO, esp with a 75-100 shot like u plan..
