Re: Blown motor with 100 wet shot? (newberd)
I was doing 140 and I hit the nitrous. My fuel solenoid didn't open!! The fuel solenoid is supposed to fail open, but it didn't. To make matters worse, I was spraying a 150 shot and a piece of something stuck my solenoid open. It was a freak accident, but I did have a WOT switch, MSD window switch, and arming switch. I'm still a little gun shy, since I just invested a ton of cash in my new 02' LS6 shortblock with a stage III head and cam, Long tubes..etc...
In the future I am going to double up my N20 & fuel solenoids and add two nitrous filters; one at the bottle and one at the solenoid.

Hmm, I was interpreting this a little differently.
Would it be possible to spray on a supercharged car? That would make some mean numbers. I heard before that you can't spray on a roots style blower, but the magnuson is screw type anyway (am i wrong?)

You can spray on anything... A wet shot taps the fuel rail and sprays into the intake. Your stock bottom end wont take the power two power adders are able to produce.

The stock bottom end won't take it for long. Actually, this might end the life of your head gaskets first. I lifted a head spraying a 50hp shot with a 9# Vortech and stock gaskets. I'll be using the same shot on a 409 motor with the ATI F1 blower.

Hey Tom what do you think I could get away with on a Magnacharger. Maybe 100 HP wet?
PS I sent you a email on the Vortec blower.
