Default New but not. big n20

Ive sold off some toys and now have the cash to fund another. Ive been racing for about 12 years now and once owned a 13sec CRX ( that was hot stuff 10 years ago) Since then its been mostly DSM's
I'm now looking into building an EG (having trouble finding one) for next season.
My plan is a swap maybe b16b and 200 shot on n20. ive heard this has been done but don't know the details. Id like to know what went into the build and what i can look forward to breaking. I want the car to be as reliable as possible and still have ***** off the bottle. I plan to drag with the occasional auto-x. daily it if i like, and run down some sat night kids every couple weekends.
Thanks

Plan on looking for Holes in pistons, even if they are forged heavy duty ones along with the rings welded right to them about half the diameter they used to be. N2o is the fastest and easiest way to blow up an engine with out extensive mods so your gonna need alot of $$ to prevent that engine from blowing up. Your gonna want it to run as cool as possible so look at a drag stage 4 port and polish so your head will be able to breathe, turbo cams, fully adj cam gears prob retarted to the extent, lowest compression pistons possible 8.8:1 is usually the mildest dome but if you can find lower ones go with those, sleeves, race gas @ least 110 rating and a good fuel system so you can run it as rich as possible, running too lean will make it burn hotter. And im not even sure if that would help, because I wouldn't wanna try it. If your trying to make your car "break em loose" at 120 mph like in 2 fast to furious its really an all overly exagerated movie. Theres no need to put that much into a car unless its fully race, even that i dont think they run more than a 120 shot max...nitrous is different, 120 dosent mean you get 120 hp instantly...its actually more than what your throwing in the engine. By all means N20 is a good way of making hp but you should think of other down to earth options before you do this like boosting it instead. If you still want to try to go through with this, be careful and good luck.
