can the new Z06 handle 200 shot of nitrous?
i know they have titaniun crankshaft and connectiong rods along with forged pistons. that makes this engine literally bullet proof. so can it handle 200 shot of nitrous with ease?

It's not "literally" bulletproof, because that would mean it is literally bulletproof- which it's not.
Anyway, there's atleast one LS7 that's been taken down that I know of. I think he was spraying a 200 shot on it.
With drag radials, exhaust, and tune a LS7 Z06 can dig deep into the 10s. This really makes you wonder if a 200 shot is necessary.

I thought the crank was a forged STEEL crank, while the RODS are titanium? (as well as most of the valvetrain). And AFAIK, they didn't go with forged pistons ... merely cast / hypereutectic? Still, it should be able to handle a good shot of nitrous before grenading itself, but I'd read around a little on the 'Vette boards to see what they're doing with them .
