Default 390ci iron, fully forged: Dual Stage 300 (150/200).....is it too much...?

That's it really........is my AES forged iron 390ci ok for a 300 shot?

Mostly I would probably just spray the first stage 100, as more of a regularly used shot, but then have the second stage available if wanted/needed.

Wet/Dry/DP.......whats best? I'm not concerned about money at all. I will buy the best stuff available. Stand alone tank with race gas is of interest to me also...if its really needed.

Thanks....

That setup should be able to hold what you are wanting to spray on it.

As far as what setup you need to run I would recommend a wet system just for ease of tune-ability.

You could use a plate for the power you are wanting, but I would recommend you use a plate for the smaller shot and then a direct port for the larger one just so that you have the ability really adjust each cylinder and have room to grow.

Stand alone systems are good because you don't have to run the expensive high octane gas in your gas tank at all times and you do not have to tie off of the engines fuel supply.

What kind of cost is a complete system like this...ready to install....? Where I dont have to buy a single other item.

The dual 300 shot as you explain. Plate for the 100 wet....then the 200 DP.....with Stand Alone tank.

So I can bring it all to a shop, drop off my car, and have them install it all and tune it. I would need to have the intake drilled and plumbed, which I can have done here locally.

You think a 200/200 would be too much?

If its fully forged with the right setup I can't see why it couldn't hold it. I am doing 150/200 on a forged 346 so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

The plate and DP is what I am planning on doing to my street car, but its going to be 75/150. The plate I will be using to just get out of the hole alil better to where I wont have too much power and have to change my suspension but just enough to where I wont bog, then about 330 out I will hit the second stage.

Can both shots be DP if I go something like 200/200.......?

Also, I will be doing ONLY rolling hits from say 40-60mph hits. So maybe a 200/200 wont be so bad as far as hooking.......

Im going to my builder tomorrow to chat with him about setting this up....or at least telling me what he recommends.....

Wow, big shot. I just inquired with Nitrous Express about a system.

I'd run exactly what Trey @ NX suggested. A plate for the smaller shot, and a DP for the bigger one. A stand alone would be an absolute must in my opinion. Also, look into good nitrous controllers. You should essentially be able to arm the nitrous system, have it pull timing and spray one, or both shots based on time.

He's building a quote for a progressively controlled dual 350. 150/200

Both will be progressive. Stand alone tank. Plate 150 and DP 200.
