Id be careful with the stock 4l60e spraying a 150 shot. I personally ordered a wet kit and think wet is a better kit IMO.

Good luck with whatever you do though

first you need to add about 15 more punctuation marks to that run on run on run on run on sentence/paragraph

what kind of kit do you have? do you have a WOT switch/window switch? any safety equipment?

If it was me, I'd invest in a new torque converter first.

hahah i'm jkkk

personally i'd shoot a 50-75 shot dry for now and avoid spraying through shifts on the stock trans. maybe invest in a window switch and one of those a/f cutoff switches to help not blow stuff up. then the kit is all installed and you'll have the proper equipment if you decide to go bigger.

True.

I'll be running a dry 150 shot this season, but also will have bigger injectors.

you should be fine with the 150 but not on a stock auto trans. I had to get my trans built up a bit after i burned out the 2nd gear band, do to the extra power from the 150. Get a window switch also, its a cheap investment to save your motor. I have 70,xxx miles on my camaro right now with a NX 150 wet and i havnt had any issues with the motor. Get it tuned also
