Juicing a 70,000 miles LS1, what do I need to check? I have bolt-ons, a T1 cam, an A4 w/3.23s & Yank 4200.
My car runs 11.8s @ 115 MPH, stock heads/intake still.
I'm looking at a small shot, perhaps a 75. My car does emit some smoke, blueish whitish ever since I did the headers. Now that I changing to a synthetic blend it does not seem to use any oil though. I have been told thats very common.
Is 70,000 miles too many to start squirting a small shot? I was thinking a small 75-100 dry shot at the most. Its a '98, fuel system should be fine. What tests should I do to make sure the motor can take this? Also, with a 4200 RPM stall, I will not be spraying out of the hole. I'm just looking for some extra oomph in 2nd and 3rd gears. Any suggestions? Precautions?

Re: Juicing a 70,000 miles LS1, what do I need to check? My '99 now has 76,000 miles and I'm still spraying a TNT 150 shot. No problems, so far.... Personally, I think an A/F gauge is the best precaution. Never spray unless the motor is completely full of oil. I sprayed once when one quart low and the oil pressure dropped on accel, luckily I caught it and did not spin a bearing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Juicing a 70,000 miles LS1, what do I need to check? BottlefedZ, thats a nice setup you have on your homepage. I bet you use those suspension mods pretty hard. How easy (or hard) is it to keep that beast on the road?

Re: Juicing a 70,000 miles LS1, what do I need to check? BottleFed,
You are spraying 175Hp dry? I have a 2001 Firebird and spraying 150. How many spray runs do you have? What have you done to keep things from blowing up? Do you have any booster fuel pump?
