Injectors, fuel pump, plugs, tune..150 hit should be fine granted you have a good tune.

Tr6 plugs will do
Walbro 255
32# injectors, possibly 36 depends on how much you plan on doing in the future
Race fuel would allow an extra cushion if you are going to spray that night but not needed by any means, get a good tune!!

All of these questions have been answered in threads and in stickies, do some reading!

So far i have seen 325 rwhp be very effective. Personally 300 for me so far...

DO NOT go out and try this, it takes alot of research, time, hard work and money. It can be done tho if you have the patience....

How silly of me to think that a heads cam and 150 shot would max the stock injectors out.

How much timing are you taking out for that 300 shot?

Like already said I would definitely get a tune. If your plugs, fuel pump, tune, and injectors are where they should be a 150 shot is no problem. I would however suggest that you swap the NGK TR6 plugs to a NGK BR7EF. Do some research in the stickies and learn as much as you can before you actually spray your car. If all you do is buy a kit and spray away it won't last very long.

That's what I was about to post.

Even with a bone stock motor, I wouldn't run a tr6 on any decent sized shot.

With ported heads and a cam, I'd look into a non-projected tip 7, maybe even an 8 depending on how much you spray.

We've sprayed 225 at a stock longblock LS1 with a carburetor. With heads and cam, the most we've sprayed has been 175. Never had a problem besides stretching stock head bolts and lifting a head once.

Up top 15.5-16, going down to as low as 12ish in the midrange.
