I have a 94' with 75k. I spray a 150-175 shot on my stock shortblock. A 75 shot with safety devices should be fine.

You will be fine.
I sprayed a 135k mile stock 305 with a 125 shot for months with no problems.
My Lt1 has seen a 150 shor for 1.5 years with no problems,and i dont run 1/2 the typical safety stuff.

You should be good to go just don't go overkill on the shot you use. That little nitrous bug can be dangerous

you should be fine. people who dont know any better or are just uneducated about nitrous, often seem to give a negative impression of it. it has gotten sort of a bad name in alot of the performance world anyway, because of the people who do use it and either dont know what their doing, or they abuse it.

the key things to be mindful of, are: fuel psi, nitrous pressure, air/fuel, and most importantly, knowing the limits of your motor. and ill add SELF CONTROL in there as well. i know alot of poeple who dont want to use ANY power adders at all for that very reason. they know that it would be too easy for them to just "bump up" the shot JUST a little more, or add just a LITTLE more boost. poeple who get carried away will most likely have problems.

i myself put a N2O system on my 96 Z at about 90k miles. i started with a 100 shot and then went to a 150. i will normally run the 100 shot and occassionally use the 150s. i would say 150 would be about the most i would want to go without some internal work. i know there are people who have, and are running more, but i wont be. my car was completly stock when i put mine on. now ive got a few mods, but not a whole lot.

good luck, have fun, and BE SAFE!!

You'll be fine with a 75 shot. Just make sure you tune up the car well with a new fuel filter / plugs.

Unfortunate for me I just blew a head gasket last week, but that the risk you take when playing with this stuff, but i'm sparying 150. Now this gives me a reason to install the CC305 alone with LT1 edit

its not an absolute nessessity. i dont have one. a FPR would be a good idea though. i personally think the stock pump is good to 150, but any higher, and id be looking at an aftermarket.
