How much would you spray? Current mods are
Vortech V9-G Trim Stock 3.125 Pulley
Speed Inc Si 5 Cam 231/237 112lsa
Comp hardened 7.4 pushrods
Pacesetter Headers
Magnaflow Exhaust
60# Injectors, Dual Walbro GSS342 - 255's
Vigilante 3800 Stall
TCI Shift Kit
3.42 Gear Ratio
Moser Axels
Mac Girdle
Mickey Thompson Et Street 26x11.5 17
The car dyno'd 470hp/475tq
-----------------------------------------------------
I just picked up a zex dry shot kit and was wondering how much I could safely spray. I am thinking about a 25 shot to start then upping it to a 50 and getting a 75 just in case i decide to go crazy and use it.
Looking at the jet info it looks like I will need to get these for the jets to have a 25 shot, 50 shot and 75 shot jet when sticking with zex jets.
.024" or 0.6096mm should produce: 26.01 HP with 1 port(s), Actual HP to the wheels: 22.11 HP
.034" or 0.8636mm should produce: 52.21 HP with 1 port(s), Actual HP to the wheels: 44.38 HP
.040" or 1.016mm should produce: 72.26 HP with 1 port(s), Actual HP to the wheels: 61.42 HP
Does that all look correct? Also is there any wiring info for a dry shot I can look at? I looked at the faq and only saw info for wet kits.

Its not a forged bottom end though. You would spray more than a 50 shot maybe upping it to a 75 shot without a forged bottom end? Thanks for looking for a wiring diagram.
There are guys on here who are spraying 300 plus with stock bottom ends. I wouldn't spray anything less than a 100-150 hit anymore. The results just aren't there to justify the cost. Be careful with the tune and you won't hurt anything.
What kind of controller are you running? Any other accessories?

I'm only on 6-7 pounds, I only got the nitrous kit since it was a really good price and only planned on spraying it to cool iat's, but now I want to run my 10.XX finally for once and call it a day.

As mentioned above you do have plenty of fuel, it would be just how much your bottom end can handle although ive seen many put up impressive numbers and still going strong. With a 75 shot you should be more then fine and should get you to the mid 500's to the wheels give or take a bit just make sure you still get a good reading of your a/f and the tune is good.

Verdad Gallardo Wow... Totally missed that blower. Still, with those hp #'s I wouldnt be afraid to push it a bit harder. You just need to be careful.
That's me though. Sticking at 75 would give you a NICE boost in HP and still be relatively safe.

No problem man. When I saw 100-150 I was thinking damn....I thought 75 was a lot being boosted already, I knew it had to be a mistake somehow.
The setup in my 01 GMC is a bone stock 5.3 bottom end and heads (upgraded springs) with an old SLP reverse split cam (234/229). Running 14lbs of boost and a dry 100shot has put a big smile on my face. Unfortunately its already eaten up 1 4l80. I'd say spray a small 50hp shot and have fun
