In my opinion I wouldnt even be using stock internals with boost or no2. Ive seen people pulling off over 100 shots on stock internals. I wouldnt recomend that at all though.

why not just replace the stock internals. and save yourself some money from having to get another motor when you blow that one up if you decide to even try to spray with the stock internals.

i tried to kill mine so i would have a reason to do my swap but the damn thing never died. 75hp wet nx clutch slipping like carzy. b16 pistond broke after a lot out beating on with turbo around 250 hp

in d series connecting rods are their weakness, not the actual piston...but seriosuly tons of people boost d series and dont have problems...
I have heard the limit on the connecting rods is about 300 hp, so i would worry to much about small amounts of boost and no2

I've heard/seen around 240whp with turbo stuff. Beyond that (or even around that) is just borrowed time.
I'd say it could take 100 shot properly tuned. 50-75 shot if you're just throwing it on there.

50 or 75 you can run all day. any thing over 200hp on stock rods and they start snaping like tooth picks. i say spray the hell out of it with a 75 and suprise some people. dont pop your hood make them find out the hard way, but dont blow the welds on your intake
