Whats the max shot you'd run on this?

Stock bottom end
6.0L heads, CNC stage 2 port
Comp Cam 226/232 112

Heads are fully built, and able to do 7000+ rpm.

Compression ratio is 10.8:1.

Hooker headers, hooker ypipe, mufflex 4" catback

Setup did 448rwhp/435rwtq on 91octane

What's the most shot you'd run on this (pump gas [91 octane] and race gas [what octane?]) with a VNC2000?

Also, my PCM is dyno tuned, do you guys see any problem with this?

Thanks guys!

Wet-No more than 150, uneven distribution issues.

Dry-No more than 125, MAF freezing and fuel issue.

DP-Get a nice pump and feed that puppy progressively of course.

I run a 100shot wet, as do many of my friends. One ran a 150 shot and bent some valves. Even though when he dynoed he wasnt picking up a true extra 50hp over his 100 shot. I plan on going with new NX DP coming to performance shops near you this Jan/Feb. I will jet it for 300hp and use NX progressive controller to get about 75 at the line and work it up to 100%. Of course I am adding a fuel pump also, all that on a stcok bottom end, hell top end too. Good-Luck, post up your decision.

Charlie.

<hr /></blockquote>What kinda fuel issues? VNC2000 will be able to stop if the condition is lean, right? I have 38# injectors, but my FP is stock.

<hr /></blockquote>Wow, interesting. I was thinking 150 wet, but I'm worried about nitrous backfires, and if my stock bottom end will hold around 600rwhp

Re: Whats the max shot you'd run on this?

In my opinion, based off from preference as well as experiences, I prefer Wet N2O. With the dry kit you can have problems frezzing the MAF or fuel issues like the MAF not reading the mixture right and thus not sending in the right amount of fuel. So, yeah, I believe, the 100wet is safer than 100dry. Dont know what the VNC2000 is? Just know that with wet you are spraying in extra fuel when nitrous is sprayed and you are not relying on the MAF to correct A/F ratio. I use a NX Wet kit, jetted at 100 shot. No issues or problems other than wishing the refills where cheaper...... Since all this stuff is science, there is no proven answer for everything, but i have asked if the stock engine will handle a progressive timed 300hp shot with the right fuel and the answers give me the faith to try. I will approach this in steps utilizing the P/C and working it up in 5%increments after 200hp. Hope it does work, killer daily driver..... Later, Charlie.
