As long as your tuner is up to par it shouldn't be an issue. It is all in the tuner at making a stock motor live.

If you are worried, throw a 150 at it. That would be playing it safe, 100-125 would be playing it really safe.

Depends on how the fuel looks on that hit... Feed line, FPR, add another 255, etc. Just depends, all cars will usually need different things... Some people could get away with less some will need more.

I am running dual in tank 255s, rest of fuel is stock right now but I'm staying at a 175 so it won't be a huge issue.

Soon I will be moving to a feed from each pump into each fuel rail (FAST/etc), a FPR and a return line. I am going to try to run mine off the rail (not go to a dedicated cell).. I'm not sure if I want to do that with the 300 though, I will most likely end up moving to a cell.

With your setup I would say 150-200 Hp, you should have plenty of fuel for that with your current setup you will want to make sure that your tune is spot on when running 200hp and also make sure you run a spark plug in the 7 heat range.

It seems low. But every dyno reads differently.
I also do t know how much a 92/92 set up would gain over your setup.
There is a lot of unknowns.

410's are short gears. And On any power adder they get even shorter. Lol.
I'm giving a 373 's a go and see how I like the whole setup.

Start with a 150 then go from there. Timing, plugs, fuel are very important of you want to keep it together.

My DD is an M6 and I was considering spraying it, I decided to leave it alone though.. I don't need two money pits.

I was going to go with a Monster Stg 1 or 2, depended on which I got a good deal on.

My Pewter car is a stalled auto.

Manual period is hard to gain traction. Add a gob of instant torque and it gets tougher. Go to a steep gear like a 410 and you are looking at a full slick and suspension and you would still have to beg the car to think about traction.

Thanks Lemons. I'm ordering a Monster Stage 3 w/ Tick Master today. My car is currently bolt-ons/cam, but will be adding heads and Nitrous soon.
