Default Biggest Dry shot

If I have the fuel system (Upgraded injectors, inline pump) would it be safe to run a 175 shot on my 2000? I was going to upgrade the injectors to '02's and haven't decided on a pump yet.

With a 175hp dry shot, I would go with at least 32# injectors. It is going to be hard to even distrabute the shot to all cylinders. The front ones will be getting more nitrous than rear ones( that is bad because of the stress it will put on the crank ). More so, the front ones might be running with the correct mixture on fuel and nitrous( amount of fuel determined by the MAF on how much nitrous it detects ), but the rear ones will be running rich since they will get less nitrous. Running rich is better than lean, but even running rich for a while has its disadvantages.

Any shot over a 150hp, I would only run through a DP Fogger.

With a NOS kit? I'm not sure the NOS solenoids will spray 175, anyone know? You might need a bigger solenoid.

In 99 we sprayed a 98Z with a two stage wet/dry and the car went 10.81@124mph, 11.49 on just the wet stage.

It was a lot of fun. That car is on it's 3rd block now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

No jets in my Powershot NOS solenoids gave me 144 rwhp on a stock motor with no bolt-ons beside a cut-out.

So I'm guessing by everyones replys I can't go bigger than 150 on my dry. So I might have to switch to a dual setup, any suggestions?

You could run your powershot 'noids in parallel to two jets. Just make sure you're jetted correctly. Alternativly, just go to a bigger 'noid. With upgraded injectors, possibly a pump and an eye on your AFR, 175-200 dry shouldn't be an issue.
