150 shot or not

My Lt1 only has 73000 miles on it and ive been spraying 100 shot on it all day long. I wanna do a 150, but I have a stock fuel system and stock bottom end. Do you think My car could handle it with no problems?

I would upgrade the fuel pump. The bottomend is more than up to a 150 shot. I know of one b-body running over 400hp NA plus a 200+ an 80 shot, that is right two stages for a total of 280hp nitrous on top of over 400hp NA. People do not give stock parts enough credit.

It's been said that a 150 shot is the most you wanna go with stock fuel pump and injectors. I say you can run a 150 shot stock. That's what I'm going to be doing when I start off in the coming summer.

150 should be alright. The bottom end will take it all day long. Still, a bigger fuel pump couldn't hurt but it isnt totally necessary.

IMO a good fuel pump is cheap insurance. I ran a 175 shot on a stock longblock,and had an upgraded fuel pump. gotta remember,some of these stock parts are 10+ years old,why gamble the engine on a $100-140 part?
