Default How much juice can it handle?

I'm trying to get the most out of my set up and have been looking into maybe going a bigger shot but not sure if i really need it.. I don't want a one pass wonder and to this point the wet 125 shot has opened alot of eyes around here with how she reacts with it.. the engine has around 6,000 miles since rebuild, all stock internals, and 10.8-1 compression.. 32lb injectors and a walbro 255..

Dude, dont hit it then quit it. Spray that bitch.

I personally feel we can get away with a bigger shot up here than the guys at sea level. Of course it still has to be tuned right

Get a box that will pull timing (like the Mallory 685 / Summit one I was telling you about), learn how to read plugs (I gotta do this too), and crank it up.

I'm gonna run 150RWHP shot minimum, and a 200 eventually, might go standalone fuel sys for that though.

Your car does run good for what it is. I would focus on getting a stall and dialing in the suspension/tire so it hooks hard (at the track at least), then I would certainly up the shot.

JMHO :-D

Oh and I dont remember what plug youre running but if they are TR6 or some other plug I would get away from them and move to a non-projected tip plug.

The BR7EF has been recommended to me by severally knowledgeable people who are running decent to large shots. (Such as pyro719)
