Default genral n2o?s

i have two genral questions searched but couldnt find a strait answer.
so i have a 98 m6 camaro and going to running a dry set up that
i had just finished installing.car has long tubes w/ory and a lid w/k&N
and thats basicly it.i want to spray a 150rwhp dry shot.
my first question is should i be going with br7ef plugs or is that too cold?
and my second question is will it be safe ish to use a 150 dry shot with
the correct plugs and possibly doing the resistor mod?
i am going to be grude racing a 03 cobra with 480 rwhp that weighs
4000lbs.and i want to be sure im gonna take him out and keep my motor
safe.otherwise im gonna use my 125 shot jet.i know these are kinda stupid questions but i dont want to kill my ls1 if this was my old 5.0 i wouldnt give a
damn and just spray a 200 hit like i used to with a stock car.
thanks joe

7's should be fine on that shot. I would be more concerned with your injector duty cycle and fuel pump. Are they still the stock injectors and pump?

i have stock injectors and fuel pump.i was gonna spray the 125 shot tonight
i still need to change the plugs im going to do that tomorow.tonight im gonna data log the car under spray and hope for the best it worries me but it is not a huge shot.and i belive stock injectors are 28. lbs per hr so i will be pushing them close to max duty cycle and we will see what happins as far as traction.

I am scared for you. Your 125 shot at 600 psi was no where near 125 hp.

Good luck.

I would still verify duty cycle at operating pressure. Easier way to heat the bottle would be to put it in a tub of hot water before heading out, don't use a torch.

im gonna buy 75shot and 100shot jets.i forgot how addicting the juice is.
luckily im broke at the moment so i cant refill it.

ruckus46gt how do you like the nano set up?does it really help the bottle last?
been looking at buying one after i take care of some other stuff.would you say
its worth the $550?

My thoughts exactly. If you cannot afford a wideband, and the software to monitor things, then you sure as hell cannot afford to pull the motor and rebuild it.

A 125 wet shot with no wideband is acceptable (I would never do it) but a 125 dry shot is just asking for trouble unless you know exactly what is going on.

thats understandable. the only way i can currently moniter any thing is by reading the plugs which have been good and im not too worried for the moment in time since the weather is starting to change here.some time in
novembeer im gonna get the software and a lm1 for the car and start
tuning it and by spring im going to buy an interface and do more tunning and
a nitrous tune. i do understand what is being said and am well aware of the consiquensces and if i toast my motor so be it.

you do realize to read the plug you have to read it right after you spray the car. Not spray the car and then drive 5 mins back to your house
