Default Will stock internals on a d16 handle a 50 shot a nitrous?

Or should i replace the cam? Gonna order a zex kit next week and im not gonna do more than a 40 or 50 shot on it, just to play it safe, but will the stock internals be fine or should i replace the camshaft?

50 will be fine, but if you plan on going higher, get fuel and spark upgrades, your clutch ins't going to like the 50 shot for 2 long, u might want to upgrade. Nitous will rip up your automatic tranny, if u have one.

just fyi... a cam isn't going to help your reliability at all.. when people talk about building there internals they mean pistons rods and crank... the cam just opens the valves... a cam might actually make you blow the motor which other wise wouldn't have blown...

valves springs retainers and cams are all valvetrain components not bottom end... and the bottom end is usually what your going to blow on N20.

but stock will handle a 50 shot as long as there is added fuel built into the kit.
