question about n2o on this crate motor

Ok I am buying a crate motor when money allows and i was wondering if i would be able to run possibly a 6psi blower on this motor or a 100 shot of n2o. ill probably end up using the n2o instead because the motor comes with vortex heads and i have yet to see a blower with vortex intake pattern...anyways here are the specs:
330 HP @ 5000 RPM, 380 ft.lbs. Torque @ 3800 RPM (Max. Recommended RPM: 5500)

9.1:1 Compression Ratio

Cast Iron 4-Bolt Block with One-Piece Rear Main Seal

Nodular Cast Iron Crankshaft

Cast Aluminum Pistons

PM Steel Connecting Rods

Cast Iron 64cc Chamber Vortec Cylinder Heads with 1.94'' Intake and 1.50 Exhaust Valves

Dual Pattern Cam, Lift: .435'' Int. / .460'' Exh., Duration @ .050: 212° Int. / 222° Exh.

1.5 Ratio Rocker Arms

will this motor take a 100 shot of n2o without any problems? if its questionable ill either say screw it or go ahead and try to find a slightly tougher motor. the reason i want this motor is because its 3199$ for everything (well almost needs little odds and ends and headers which i have most) anyways what you all think?

how you think the 700r4 will take to that motor? itll have a bigger stall installed before i do the swap and it currently has a trans-go shift kit installed. sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for the help :lala:

Yes 100hp shot will be fine. I would go no more than that. I like that motor It is fairly strong.....Set your timing and get the correct plugs and it will be a hot little setup.

what kinda times you think itll run with 3.73 gears and a few suspension mods? im considering just buying a mustang since i can get a nice black 90 coupe with a cowl hood for cheap and the guy i know will also sell me a 9psi paxton for 900$ and install it to...cant go wrong with that

that engine will handle nitrous without any major problems as long as you set up the nitrous properly. assuming you can tune the tbi well enough, it should go high 13's without too much work. i've installed one of these engines, they work out pretty nicely.
