Default Max HP on stock bottom end

With my current setup, I am running just over 400rwhp (cam only...supporting mods car).

I have a NX kit now installed and wondering what I should put in as a "safe" shot. Kit is wet..... but car is a DD, so reliability is important to an extent...

I was thinking around 100-150? Should I just go for some heads instead? Running a Speed Inc grind cam (SI5)...

150!

I've seen a few cam-only cars around that power range that absolutely love a 150-175 shot.

If this is your only vehicle and you need dd it. I wouldn't spray more than a 125 just to be safe.

It really depends on the supporting mods... I have seen a few cammed cars spraying a 200 shot on a stock bottom-end, but I wouldn't recomend it. Like stated above, if it is your only means of getting around, I wouldn't risk it, nor would I risk it if I didn't have money set aside to repair damages. Making sure your fuel system is able to support the shot no problem is one key, also have a window switch, WOT switch and an FPSS will help. Tuning and the right plugs will also be key.... I would say to run a tr6 for a 150 shot.

This is only my opinion, ofcourse you will get biased opinion from this site.

Buddy put down 653 to the wheels through a stock bottom end, at which point they shut down the dyno and realized those werent really 150 shot jets!!! Rofl!! Should be around 600 to the tires is what I remember seeing a few people making (on n2o). He's making about 455 to the wheels NA.
