Default Difference between150 and 175 shot?

I am running a NX 150 wet kit now, will there be that much difference stepping up to a 175? I still have a stock bottom end so I think a 200 shot is out of the question. I am just looking for a little improvement at the track this year.

actually people have sprayed 300 shots on stock bottom ends and they last. its all on the tune and fuel setup if you keep your air fuels right the sky is the limit.. im personally building a 200 shot setup as we speak

25hp more is not going to make a big enough difference to be to noticable. It should make a little difference though.

if you were to say whats it like going from a 150 dry shot to a 175 wet shot then i would tell you for sure a noticable difference no doubt since the wet and dry systems are rated differently and both hit a bit different as well. But wet 150 to wet 175 there will be a difference but nothing big enough were your going to say its major at all.

If you can get the car to 60ft it will go 9s just like it sits on a 250 shot. Do your research, learn how to read plugs (via fuel and timing) and it will run the number. The V2 loves the spray, ask me how I know?

I am going to run a .078N .041F with a #8 plug, and hopefully run in the 9's. I bought 3 sets of plugs, so hopefully we can get the tune right and hit the track.
