What I am looking to do is use the stock polished crank and shot-pin the rods, go with srp high compression piston but the question is what is the limitation that I should go with on my nitrous-to-comression, if I want to squeeze around a 125-150hp shot ??? Any help would be appreciated
How much compression is too much?

Nitrous and compression love eachother.
Big block wise it was difficult to keep the head from lifting with anything over 18-1. The 10 5/8 studs would streatch. I think the Yates boys found about the same limitations with the small blocks back in the unlimited NASCAR days. About 18-1 and some great cam events caused enough cylinder pressure to streatch HIGH QUALITY studs and blow head gaskets regularly.
That small a shot, I wouldnt fear getting DAMN close though.
I have a 16-1 engine and plan a 600 shot.
