Depends alot on miles and condition of your motor. But I would guess you could run a 100 hp dry shot through it.

i've got an adjustable 75hp to 300hp wet system, i've got it jetted for 100hp shot, which i believe in reality is only about 80hp. at 100 shot i'm told... my car's computer can adjust for timing, fuel etc. without having to upgrade fuel supply or ignition & timing. just don't expect 'fast & furious" stick-to-the-back of-your-seat power. once you go above 100-125hp of nitrous you have to start building the motor & car for it. make sure you do your homework, wide-open throttle switch and never use under 2,000rpm

have fun & good luck!
