How much nitrous can an sr20 handle?

Rather a silly question as defined. Do you mean an SR20 or an SR20 and
drivetrain?

I would say a 250 shot would be possible. Searl/Ben's car ended up with
~425 hp via turbo, and since nitrous is just another way to cram more
oxygen into the motor, like a turbo, whatever the turbo guys can attain
should be what a nitrous car can obtain. Transmission life will be short if
it's not babied, however. Limiting factor is really the transmission, at
about 300 hp. Engine must be prepped just like a DET to survive much
"boost".
