how much to spay? I'm still on stock bottom end. Cam only I would spray 150. But say if I add heads? And even maybe a fast 90/90? What's the maximum I can spray being safe? I would like to hit 600 at the wheels but is the possible on stock bottom end safely?
That would depend if you'd spray off the line, hard launches and what not! The amount of stress you would put on your stock 10 bolt would eventually catch up to you and BOOM! But still you'd be fine with a 150! Nobody can tell you how long it'll last before throwing up on you too many variables make it different everytime. Just do some research on people's experiences . I've personally never sprayed off the line only in second gear but then again mine is an auto.

150 on stock bottom end is fine. everyone has different success. some spray 200 and they are fine. the tune and engine maint. is important. how many miles does ur motor have? but overall 150 is fine and thats what i would spray no more.

The motor has 51k miles. So you yould recommend that I get heads and a fast 90 and spray a 150 then just cam and spray a 175?
600 rwhp is definitely getting to a level where people start having more issues with the stock bottom end. I went with a heads/cam/FAST + 150 shot of N2O to get to the 600 rwhp point and have had success so far. Given that I wanted to see what 600 rwhp was like and I hit my goal I'm now jetted back down to a 100 rwhp shot and that's plenty for me (for now). The difference between 550 and 600 rwhp on the street is nominal when you encounter the typical traction issues, so I figured there was no need to put any additional stress on the bottom end.

heads and a cam totally up to u. im saying on a stock motor 150 shot is fine. heads and a cam on a ls1 will totally bump the numbers up, **** cam only ls1's pick up alot of power at the wheels. but i am going to say 600hp on a stock bottom end is pushing it. some have real good luck some dont. again all boils down to usuable horse power. sure u can look cool on a dyno and get high numbers but u want to be able to use all that power throughout your rpm range.

I might be thinking about doing the install myself. How hard is it to install a wet plate kit? Also what about the accesories? I'd go with the hsw all out accesories kit? Are these are to install?
