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

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.

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..
