how much nitrous will a 408 windsor take?
So, in my never-ending quest to be satisfied with enough horsepower (i know, its not possible) i have built a 408 stroker, with the fallowing arrangement of parts
1996 351w roller block, stroked to 408ci. cast crank and rods, forged pistons 10:1 compression crane powermax roller cam (224/232 @50, 540/560 lift @ valves, 112lsa) edelbrock RPM aluminum heads (2.02, 1.60, 170cc runners) edelbrock 750 carb on weiand stealth intake shorty headers and dual 2.5" exhaust. anyhow, it's too slow. so tonight i was thinking, maybe some nitrous would be fun? but how much can I run before it explodes? |

i am guessing a cheap set of cast I-beams? if so, i would stick to 100 shot.

Yes, the rods are cast I beams. yes they were cheap ones. it's in a bronco.. and i took it out today and mud whomped it and i was actually pretty pleased with the power. then the engine mounts broke. oh well, it's always something. don't think I'll have them replaced before this weekend though
![]() i was considering a 125 wet shot. i was really curious though, as i don't know that much about nitrous, how limited am i due to the higher compression of the engine? (at 10:1) i figured it's too high for any significant amount of boost, but does the same hold true for the nitrous, or does its cooling factor help things? |
