Default 150 shot dry OK

Right now im running a 125 shot dry pretty happy with the results and my A/F. Wondering if i upgrade my injectors to 42lb and get a fuel pump booster basically up the voltage would i be able to run 150 with a re-tune from Frost.

Ask Frost if there is room with the injectors you have now.
He should know the duty cycle from the tune, that will tell you how much room you have with the injectors.
Voltage booster is good idea, cheap and easy.

He said no he doesnt and i would need HP tuners to get that type of info. I have a mail order tune so i dont think its possible but who knows either way. Im just gonna play it safe and upgrade the injectors and buy the booster to up the voltage to the pump.

Dont put the injectors in and drive the car.

im gonna send the computer out and leave the car parked at the shop. Once i get it back the injectors will be installed. Do you think ATVracr that the voltage booster that hooks up to your alternator and ups the voltage to your fuel pump is a good idea. Its about 85 bucks and havent heard anything bad about it. Figured im only upping it another 25 shot and with the injectors i should be covered but who knows. Dont mean to plug in ebay stuff but just a quick view of what im talking about http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caspers-Elec...item4cfd9cd3fa

Why not keep it simple and switch to a wet system? Since you do not have the ability to fine tune the nitrous system through pcm tuning it would be a much better option for you in my opinion.

Voltage booster is good idea.

Converting to wet system Like Dave said will let you tune it yourself instead of sending your PCM out everytime you want to raise or lowerthe shot.

Take the money for injectors and tune and give Dave a call.

with the wet system im afraid if the nitrous solenoid fails as it did several times with my HSW kit i will dump fuel in the intake manifold and blow crap up. I was lucky on a LT1 car that didnt happen. I checked a while ago about doing a wet system the guy at dynotune quoted me 140 i think to convert it.

Get good noids from Dave. (not those tiny things)
And you wont have any problems.

You shuld be able to tell if the nitrous doesn spray and the fuel does. (it will bog car bad)

You just made my head hurt...... if the nitrous noid fails the car will run like crap but will not blow anything up. if the fuel noid fails it will run real lean and run like crap but will not blow anything up if the timming is correct.

either way buy good noids and they should not fail. i think we have had 2 bad noids in 10 years on 3 cars with hundreds if not thousands of runs. btw 1 of them was a shitty noid.

I wouldn't run a dry shot on a mail order tune anyways. Especially without data logging anything.

Yeah no way in hell I would run a 150 shot via a dry kit on a mail order tune. Every car and every setup is different. Buy good NO noids and go wet and you will thank yourself later.

listen to me , If you do the conversion to wet kit you will not spend more than $100 and with the same injectors and fuel pump , You need all the Fuel solenoid , IF you want to stay with the current setup so i recommend a 340 aermotive fuel pump and that's it .
