How much HP will my new bottom end take?
My Forged Callies Dragonslayer crank, 6 "Eagle ESP H beams, And forged JE/SPR pistons are on their way. How much power do you think i can safely put down and how much nitrous will I be able to use? Thanks

It all depends, are the pistons built specifically for nitrous? If not what is the compression height on them? Also what about your mains, they are 4bolt or splayed 4 bolt i hope?

I dont know if they are built for nitrous. They do have a 5cc dish though. THey are on the Combination Motorsports website. Even if they arent made for nitrous, I should be able to go with a 150 shot with no problems right?

Yes, you should be able to spray 200 if you have the ignition and fuel to support it. I wouldn't really go higher than that though unless the piston is specifically for nitrous.
