The ecm could not handle the 125 shot however.
Not bad for under $1000. I have had a 100 shot on my c5 for going on three years. It's like anything as long as use don't get greedy and abuse it. By the way I have never heard of someone blowing a motor with only a 100 shot(wet)
When I get a c6. I will have it hooked up first week.

The numbers posted were about right on... Find this issue (sorry, I have mine packed or I would scan and email it to you)...
It detailed the whole install and the number were VERY impressive...

I did my C6 with a 100 shot wet kit. Did the 3000-6000 pill switch (a must). Works great. No problems with the engine or clutch. I have sprayed about 4- 10lb bottles so far. Runs like a champ. We did the NX N2O system with new plugs and a Corsa exhaust. My numbers on the dyno were 455 RWHP and 484 FT-LB of torque. I am hoping to run at the track this weekend in the 11's.
I don't know where you live but Speed Inc. did my car and they do sell the kits. http://www.ls1speed.com/
Tom from Speed Inc did his C6 with a 150 shot and ran an 11.3 1/4.

Hey SpinMonster,
Just how rich does the C6 come from the factory? I would imagine a stock motor would be running in the neighborhood of 14. something to 1 to meet CAFE regs and emissions

I was planning on spraying a 75 dry shot. I wonder how many people are spraying these cars without tuning?

Removal of the sender requires advanced skills in a C5/C6 with a top-loaded fuel module.
