biggest shot I could use when running C16 (116octane) im putting it on a

2001 trans am ws6 with a lid, SLP loud mouth exhaust and a maf thanks to all

you nitrous techs. sorry for the stupid questions but im

150 seems to be the max w/ the stock fuel pump.

I use one. Most others recommend and/or use one as well.

I and most others use an MSD window switch.

This will prevent you from spraying at too low an RPM. Which could cause an explosion.

I would say 175 shot would be about the max. I don't think you will need 116. You could use 101-106 unleaded mixed with some premium gas. Besides, I think the leaded race gas ruins O2 sensors.

A window switch is something I highly recommend.You will also need to change your plugs to a NGK TR6.

Now as far as your car.If I read this right your motor is stock.The stock pistons are only rated for a 150 shot.There are people spraying more but thats at there own risk.Do not run 116 fuel.It will slow you down.You do not have enough motor for that fuel.It is also leaded and it will be hard on the 02s.If you run racing fuel run 104 unleaded.If your just running the 150 shot you can probley get away with 93 octain just fine.

Here is another vote for 100+ unleaded octane fuel. The leaded stuff will kill your O2's in short order.

WOW, I have run c-16 in numerous cars for tank after tank and my o2's still work. I guess every car is different huh.

All you have to do is call Charles. We will set you up.
