Default N2O Power expectations?

Ok so the enevitable I think is about a month away. Once I get the 'new' bottom end in place I'll probably be picking up a kit for the hell of it.

What would you expect a 350ci engine that is making 322hp/362 ft/lb at the wheels to put down on a 100 wet shot? Make me wanna do it. :)

Well Scorp, I am spraying 150 dry. 430.1 RWHP. (280.2 RWHP motor). Your already 322 to the ground. you'll get anywhere between 95 to 105 HP out of a 100 shot. So, lets say that 322 becomes about 420!!! Tourque will go up another 125 lbs. or so too! :D You'll absolutely love it!!! :D

I'm making similar numbers with a little less torque. I've got a 100 dry shot installed but haven't dynoed it or taken it to the track yet. I may try to run it at the SLP track day Sunday and see what kind of times I put down on the street tires.

Currently I'm making around 328 RWHP and expect to make around 390-410 RWHP. This is just a guess. I'll post numbers when I finally dyno it.

You will get a harder hit and more initial torque out of a wet kit. Doesn't make it better over dry though. Just throwing out the info.
