As long as didn't crack the block, I'd say rebuild...or L67 swap if you have the time and money.

"Youth in Asia"...I don't see anything wrong with that.
well its ONLY cylinder 2 thats FUBAR...... thats what the "tests" showed......
Tests aren't good enough unfortunately. Rip it down and take a good look at what the damage is before you decide for or against rebuild.

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...
If you had something on there to retard the timing... .like the MSD DIS-2... you probably wouldn't have blown the engine
75 shouldn't have blown! I run 100 shot wet zex direct port W/ 100 octane fuel and 3.5 degrees retard w/msd on stock 2.4. 7 bottles no problems yet. 112,000 on motor. Rebuild and tune a little better!
If he's running stock heat range platinum plugs... instead of colder copper plugs... and no timing mods.... Then a 75 shot is almost guaranteed to kill the motor....it's just a matter of time.
I ran hundreds of passes on my old 2000 Z24... the "Bottle Fed Zed" but I had all the other requisite mods... I never had any problems...
Anyone who thinks they can just strap on a nitrous kit without the other mods, is asking for it..
yeah lol all i had was a COMPLETLY stock block... with intake and nitrous..... i used the 50shot for a while it worked fine no problems at all then i got greedy and tried the 75shot..... i guess i shoulda posted and got all the info i needed before i did it... oh well its been done now... i'll keep yall posted with the engine situation
