Default LT1 + Nitrous = ?

Is anyone running a 175-200 shot on a stock bottomend LT1? Im running a 150 wet NX kit now. Looking to try to get another tenth or two.

lose weight. I know I wouldn't want to run a 200 shot on an LT1. I know people have done it before, but I'd stick with a 100-150.

Do a search for Pyro719 and my name you will find alot of info about spraying an LT1 with a 200 shot. I will tell you it prob wont last very long unless you have it set-up pretty good. I did mine on a 2 stage direct-port I ran a 175 shot for awhile never hurt anything but its always a chance it will. If you have any specific questions just let me know there is alot of knowledgeable people on this board they will give you good info!

I have sprayed a 175 for 2 years and countless drag passes (6.6's @ 103 in the 1/8th) with stock bottom end. It can be done if you are safe with it. The setup was carb'd and it was a wet plate setup.

Well to run safe I would make sure your fuel system was up to par. Have the right spark plugs in and back the timing down also run some higher octane I always used E-85 or E-100 when I spray one time I did use 118 leaded didnt notice much of a difference just had to lean it out some for it. Monitor your A/F ratio and maybe break it up into a 2 stage bringing the second stage in on the higher rpm's to help out some. I am sure there is more but that is acouple things off the top of my head. I would say break it up do a 125shot and bring the 75 shot in at about 4900-5000rpm to what ever you redline at. I am sure more people will give you input on it though

Where you getting your fills from? The cheapest and probally one of the best places is S-R Tuning in the Springs. Always giving discount and sometimes filling for free
