Build the motor for n/a and then add nitrous. Just remember if you're on the limit of pump gas on your n/a set up, you will need to run race fuel to use the nitrous.

alot of big block guys you will find run seemingly high compression with nitrous.

we have run 9.0:1 compression with nitrous with decent results.
