Default Stock Exhaust OK?

Will I be able to run a 100 shot on my completely stock car or should I wait to get exhaust put on it? Is it OK to run before getting a dyno tune?

150 rated at motor completely stock from paper air filter to exhaust tips. i did put 2 steps colder plugs, new wires, and fuel filter though. most every nitrous kit is purposefully design to run very rich. i've never dyno'ed before hitting the track with nitrous. so, yes it is ok to run before dyno tuning. unless there's something wrong with your car, i don't forsee any problems.

Stock exhaust is fine, but change the plugs to TR6.
I dropped a full second with a 100 shot when I was stock.

Thanks guys for the input on the exhaust, anyone else have an opinion on dyno tuning the car before hitting the juice? All input is appreciated.

If this is a wet system? Set bottle pressure 50psi higher than recommended. Because you will loose just under 50psi when you purge system system before a run.

I run a 150 wet on a stock tune, be sure to get colder plugs, and a high flow fuel pump is good insurance. You dont need a tune most kits are designed to run on a stock tune.
