Would you spray it? Forged 408 9.0:1 compression with a Procharger F1C setup on it.
Should make over 800rwhp without sweating in my M6 GTO, but I am contemplating adding spray to the setup.
So I guess this is my question... Would you put spray on a car that was making in excess of 800rwhp?
I am thinking a simple 75-125shot ontop of the setup and that should push the car to around the 1000rwhp mark.
But is it even worth it at that point? Yes the car goes to teh track and that would be the only time nitrous was used, but with all that power am I getting carried away by adding spray to it?
If I did spray it I would run
Plate Kit
Bottle Warmer
Purge
FJO Progressive controller
and all other necessarry goodies to do it right?
Help me out here guys. I should have the motor within the month and I want to get everything situated before it arrives because I already have a lot of other little things to do to make the car run and look just the way I want.
Maybe I should just hold off and see where I am at with the blower/motor before making this decision... but man do I miss having nitrous.

How many out there are running multiple power adders? Would you do it over again? Why or why not?
Lets get some good info out there for the OP and everyone else.

I'd wait on the nitrous and see if the suspension can handle the power you're going to be asking of it, with the new engine/blower combo. The nitrous may do nothing but overpower the tires. Bob

if your car doesnt have a cage then spraying is pointless.
if you have the stock rear and stock suspension its not a good idea.
if you dont have a set of slicks atleast 28'' tall and 10'' wide no way.
too me the less you have to worry about the better off you are, but again thats just me.
if you want to run the juice I'd still wait and get the car running down the track WELL and then add the juice either at the end of the season or the beginning of next... with the new found power you'll have alot of bugs to fix.

Built rear and built up rear suspension
Slicks are certainly the next installment as the MT DRs on my Bogarts don't seem to get along with me too well.

with as much power as you will have on the blower and motor i think youll hit 9.99 and have to have a 10pnt cage

i would run it a while on blower and then mabey next season spray it...
with 800rwhp you should be able to hit 9's easy and if not youll need to work on your chassis and suspension tunning...
after you hit 9's in the quarter then i'd look for more power.... but then youll need a cage... to me it just wouldnt make sense to keep making a huge amount of power and not make the best of it.

9.99 will not be easy with a 6spd in a 3850lb car either... thats for sure! But man would it be sweet.

Hey Mick, with a 408 motor and an F1 Procharger that car is gonna be a handful on a GTO chassis and driveline. I think with that much power you should deffinately do the 9" rear conversion and also ditch the T56 and go with a Th 400, 4L80, or Powerglid with a T-brake,your tranny and rear will hold you back if you dont ungrade. Also you should do a 10point cage with swingouts, you`ll have to have it and the car will be much safer. My 98 has a 10 point w/swingouts and its not to hard to get in.

To add to your list:
Plate Kit
Bottle Warmer
Purge
FJO Progressive controller (although I'm using the NOS progressive controller)
MSD Multi-Step Retard Box or Digital Retard
Solid Axle Rear, 9" - no way the beefed up IRS will last
Built Strip 4L80E - I can't think of a manual that will handle it
Then pray that the block will take it.
