never done it on a f body but I used to dry spray cheap w bodies ( 4 dr v6SC fwd regals and gtp's) always sprayed pre maf in the airbox and sprayed one hard enough to try to kill it and couldn't 4dr gtp ran 7.6 1/8 mile @94 and 12.1 @118 1/4 full weight on 2.0 60 foots lol that was up over a 150 dry shot (.086 jet) and the last couple hundred feet it was nosed over dead lean , yes coasted to a 118 trap lol. did melt some electrodes , popped new plugs in and gave her hell again lol don't do this at home folks...
My Compucar "bottle in a bag" kit sprayed many of my friends cars as well as a few random people I met at the track I offered it up to for a 10 min install and new pb's . We also sprayed a buddies eco boost sho into the 12.50's with it when they were brand new , at the time it was the first one into the 12's . he wasn't scared we were in the .057 jet range on that one I recall. Same guy has my kit today , been on permanent loan to him a while now he has spray srt challenger , srt jeep , ctsv/sc , Toyota fj cruiser lol all kinds of stuff he has owned , easier to borrow it from him if I need it he was borrowing it all the time....
The big key to spraying a car wet or dry without knowing and verifying proper fueling with a wideband is to be sure to wear your big boy pants because if it screws something up its on you and b. most cars will tolerate a couple banzai passes pretty well but if you make a habit of it you will wish you did it right if you care about the engine. a 50 shot on a bolt on car is pretty conservative but verifying that your at least staying south of 13 to 1 afr at wot would be advisable

I also ran the compucar bottle in the bag to be sneaky to outrun a friend. The fourth jet up that comes in the kit made a little over 100 hp at the wheels on a dyno. I went a step colder on the plugs and when I got to the track my car was almost empty and I added 5 gallons of 100 octane just for safety. I didn't run but 3 bottles through the kit before I went to a wet kit, but I never had any problems. My car was a bolt on car,A4 with stock stall and DR's. Went 8.4 on motor and 7.6 on fourth jet. Hope this helps!
your gtp times were way off were you not running premium ? I took my daugters bone stock other than a K&N filter and it went 14.4 @96 and my gs went 13.91 @101 on a stock pulley with good supporting mods then sprayed it with the compucar kit to 13.1 @109 on low pressure , last week for the track and they had closed up the racer shack early so I couldn't top off like I planned.This car just went 12.8 on a 2.1 60 for its current owner a couple weeks ago , no spray he added rockers and intercooler all with 249,000 miles on stock internals engine & trans
