Default Is my fuel systen enough for a DRY shot?

I have a Walbro 340 and Ford 36#ers. Would I be better off going wet? I know our Intakes are not designed to move fuel and Ive read that a good dry shot will kick ***. Iam looking to spray a 100 to 150 shot. Thanks for any insight.

You should be fine on the 100 shot, with the 150 you may be going above 80% duty cycle. I would just put the dry on and try it. Tuning software will tell you what duty cycle you are running.

FWIW, I have the 42 SVO injectors, and on the 100 shot I only run about 45-48% duty cycle.

Do you have a forged engine? I think with heads/cam and a 150 shot you may want to have money for a new engine standing by if you are on a stock shortblock. I would definitely make sure it is tuned well at that power level.

Should be a cake walk, 150 no sweat. Just log for a/f and kr and run a colder plug. You wont be maxing those 36'ers on a 100 or prob a 150 as they are bigger than 36lb at our pressures.

Did you go to our new sight? A link on our old home page. More kits there, mostly the addition of some of the NX kits. Thanks
