Why dont you go with a dry shot? You can still damagae your engine, but I think what you are refering to is the intake backfire. Dry shots dont have fuel flowing through the intake, so there is nothing to ignite. Dry kits are also much cheaper. That, or you could also go direct Port I guess. But dont take my word for it, im just learning as well.

Dry is the only way to go on these systems, for several reasons... p.s. I'm running a 100hp dry shot on top of 700hp with great results on a STOCK bottom end... so I bet your car will do just fine...

So a LS7 with cam and bolt ons with stock bottom end can handle a 100 shot dry or wet...
Also 100 shot doesn't mean 100HP right. I have seen guys dyno with these with like 150 more Horse. How do you know what jet size to start with for a 100 shot
Thanks for all the replies..

Well usually a 100 shot will net you about 100 hp at the wheels. As far as which jets to use, when you buy a kit, you usually get several jets included, and a sheet that tells you which jets to use for what size shot.

If you want a wet kit, the nitrous outlet plate kit is a very clean lookin piece. Kinda stealthy, which I like. My current kit is a TNT Power Ring kit. Also great, but not stealthy at all, lol.
