LOL to put it mildly, hell yes. Most will say 42s Im sure, but I would go with 60s to be safe.

I don't think 30# will be enough even without the nitrous, even 36# are going to be over 85% duty cycle, I'd say just get 42s from FIC.

EDIT: didn't catch it was a wet kit, 36#s should be fine, only around $225 flow matched from FIC.

42's at 3 bar will be plenty, even for a much bigger shot.

Right now you're guessing. Unless you monitor it w/appropriate software, you won't know... AND if you put them in, you'll need a tune anyway, so plugging them in won't do anything good for you unless you have the equipment ready to go to KNOW how they're working. Plug them in and ignore proper tuning could result in flooding the engine and costing you alot more than a tune runs.

The 36's will net you around 41# and should be more than sufficient. Never said anything about your intelligence, just pointing out all the information is needed for appropriate answers. Saw you're not too far (about 3 hours) from me. You have a wideband bung welded into your exhaust by chance? Using all 4 of your O2 sensors?
