I considered this when i was barely 16 and working for avis car rental as a mechanics assistant, he said that with the rod legth on the I6, it would be suicide, so im guessing you dont wanna go over 100 HP boost, if that.

I would discourage any nitrous use with a stock bottom end. The rpm range of a 300 dictates that you will get double the torque that you will get hp from nitrous. When nitrous first became popular and accepted as a performance enhancer it was said that you shouldn't use it below 3000 rpm for that very reason. If you spray 100 hp at 2600 rpm you will add 200 ft-lbs of torque. Torque is what kill internal parts.
