[QUOTE="NTXRockr, post: 13635247, member: 143742"] Has anyone done nitrous on their 11:1 aluminator yet? I'm debating doing a built shortblock with forged pistons and h beam rods, boss crank and springs, and go with 12:1cr, comp cam stage 3's and longtubes...excluding the cams and lt's, I'm looking at around $5k just for the shortblock before final assembly. That's hoping the heads are ok as well. All in all, I'm looking at close to $7k if all goes well with the build...that's just for a built shortblock and assembling with my stock heads. If I decided to sacrifice the higher compression, the aluminator seems to be a turnkey option for about the same price. I plan on doing billet oil pump gears and head cooling mod on both, so no difference there. The only difference I see is I'm stuck with 11:1cr and the choice of rods and (more importantly) pistons. Am I missing any pertinent info? Will the Mahle pistons in the aluminator handle the abuse of a 150-200+ shot or should I look into the built option with Diamond, Weisco, JE, or other beefier pistons? Should I bore over stock? I realize that I'm compromising between a full nitrous build and a beast of a n/a motor (I'm shooting for 500whp n/a) but its a dd that sees the track 1-3 times per month. Any and all responses appreciated (even the lurking smartasses lol). Thanks! :beer: [/QUOTE]
