150 shot!! your always going to take a chance of blowing your pistons! so its really your call is it worth it? I would stay with 100 shot on stock pistons.

So I'm guessing my 200 shot is too much? LOL

Why would the pistons fail any differently than on a Blower setup? Pull timing, read the plugs, stand alone fuel system, cold plugs, window switch, lean/rich shutoff, etc...

What is going to cause the failure that a similar FI car would have? I've seen piston 7 and 8 go on a blower car from detonation.

yea your right about blower cars too they all gamble on the stock motor blowing a piston just saying your taking a chance that could cost you thousands of dollars If your rich $$ no problem
