Default 125 Shot??

Will a 125 shot be safe on my car. stock block, with mods in sig. the tune is for a 125 shot, i know the LT1 eat nitrous but how much. It just turned 146K; however, it is running stronger with mile i put on it. What do you think?

146k and nitrous don't mix. Make sure u have a bottle heater, a nitrous controller, and stuff like that. Also do a wet shot. The main thing is don't blow it up. Good luck.

You will be fine as long as ya got some colder plugs gapped to 35ish and 93+ octane fuel. i had a 125 dry shot on my lt1 for more than a year with no problems, and i wasnt light on the pedal.

On the topic, after i install some longtubes and replace my platinum plugs with some NGK's.. im gonna put my bottle back in the car. It has a full-throttle switch, is that sufficient enough for a "nitrous controller"?? I have an on/off switch so i could switch it on whenever i need. But i still need a bottle heater

This is just a coment, but the important thing is don't bypass the safety switch. I blew up my lt1 motor by bypassing the nitrous safety switch and my trans didn't shift into 3rd gear I hit the rev limiter and that was it new motor time.

well, if it makes you feel any better ill be spraying a 150 shot this summer. But, im getting all the safety things i can. Fuel pressure safety switch, window switch, WOT switch, bottle heater, purge, ect., ect.!!! Plus, if it blows that means you can build it bigger, faster, stronger!!!!....... "SPRAY N' PRAY"

I would stay with 100 shot. Just remember that everything the nitrous pushes harder will break and wear a lot faster

I have a 112k miles on my car and I spray a 150 wet shot all the time and have had no problems what so ever. All you need is colder plugs (make sure to gap them correctly) and I would suggest getting something along the lines of a MSD Digital 6+ in order to pull timing while the nitrous is spraying. It's also a good idea to get a window switch (so you don't have to worry about the rev limiter). The window switch is also good for cutting off the spray before the first in an A4, unless you have a VERY WELL built trans that can handle spraying though the shifts. I have mine running off of a WOT switch and also have a window switch hooked up so I can spray it out of the hole but also protect it from spraying while on the rev limiter.

All in All, as long as you do it the right way, you should be fine. If you don't believe me, just look at my sig
