compression ratio


What is a safe compression ratio in a 5.0 with forged pistons, rods, and crankshaft for a 100-150 shot of nitrous?

compression isnt the factor since there are a lot of really high comp. engines in drag cars that use N20.if you are still using a stock block 5.0 you probably want to stay under 500hp and 7000rpms so you dont destroy all your forged parts if you split your block
