Nitrous question
If I run 12.3's with bolt on's and wanted to run a 150 shot wet kit what kind of times could I run and how safe would it be to a stock motor?
and what would the best kit be?
Thanks in advance

My guess:
150 shot with tuning, 11.5-ish maybe better, with sticky tires.
safe: 150 shot is the max for a stock bottom, that is if you want it to last.
I use NX Express.
Good Luck....Have fun....!Go fast!

NX wet kit vic. i know some who run a 200 shot easily on stock bottom end w/o a problem w/ quite a few passes. I bet you go low 11s if you spray it off the ilne and get traction>

I think you might wanna get a better fuel pump. If you are running 12.3 now you gotta have near 350RWHP???? then throw on another 150hp plus near 200tq. Stay on the safe side get a better fuel pump. As far as keeping the motor safe just make sure you use the safty parts (window switch, fpss,) That extra money will make a diff from a blown motor and a working motor. And dont spray under 3k..

my times w/ bolt ons were 12.6 -12.8. w/100 shot (nx kit) 11.3-11.5 @ 122mph. i don't have a rollbar and i've been warned by the track officials,so i can't try the 150 shot.

How long does a bottle last (how many runs)?

A small 15lb bottle will yield:
@ 250 shot you can get 3-4 runs
@ 200 shot you can get 4-6 runs.
@ 100 shot 8-12 runs
