Default fuel for 200 shot

hey i have ls1 trans am and i have ported 243s and a ms4 cam with a fast 92/92 setup. it made 450rwhp and i plan on spraying a 200 shot. will a racetronics 255 support the shot i want to do? also is it safe to do a 200 shot on a stock bottom end? thank you.

I would start looking into a stand alone at that power level especially on the stock bottom end.

What nitrous and fuel system do you currently have?

You are on the edge of what the 255 will do. I would recommend the stand alone, but you might be able to get by on just the pump. Be sure to keep a FPSS switch on the car and an eye on the tuneup.

It is just going to depend. Usually the pump is good to 650whp with the hotwire. I would for sure keep a fuel pressure safety switch.

Typically they do if it is a racetronix. I would call them and verify.

Get with those guys on it then. They are the ones who have to make it all work and they probably have a preference.
