Id shoot a 100 to start out with. My setup is not making that much power, but it should be (Some tuning issues need to be worked out) Im spraying a 150 shot now and will prob go 200. If I were you, I wouldnt go over a 150 on stock bottom end

I'd say 125. 615rwhp is a nice #. I know its not always exact but 615 just feels more comfortable compared to 640rwhp on a 150 shot. I don't know what it is, nitrous just always makes me nervous. I think if you have the fuel system to back it though, the 150 shot is doable.

I would stick with 100 shot and make sure the fuel system supports it with a dead on tune. You will make about 600ish rwhp but your rwt would be HIGH and you need to be careful with torque numbers on stock bottom.

Yup, I agree with everyone else...stick right around 600 and make sure the fuel system is up to snuff. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks!

I would say a 500 shot would make for an awesome U-Tube video

I'll agree with the others here. If you have the proper plugs and tune, start with 100 and go to 150 if you need to wax someone.

going to spray my tnt 100 which should be 125 to the tire. thats what it was with the stock motor, great air/fuel
340 walbro pump with racetronix harness, 42lb injectors and retune.
do you guys think I need just a pump or injectors or both? its a WET KIT.

point of refrence i had a stock ls6 (headers only) with a TNT 150 shot..i think those guys underrate the hp..150 is more like 175...
anywho,,it worked fine for a year and half ..until my bottle pressure was at 1400 ...i was not aware of it and first hit , blew it up..
so i would say 100 shot on stock bottom with a prefect tune..

yea 1400 is INSANELY high.. gotta keep eye on pressure.
I usually spray anywhere from 950-1100 not a psi above that. Hits hard enough and thats how I hit her on the dyno to make sure with a/f.
Im hoping to crack 600 but we will see... on a 100 pill.
Fast 92 is going on so I should crack 500rwhp n/a
