Default No headers/stock engine...125 shot ok?

I don't have headers, but I may get high flowing cats when I order the nitrous. I need to know what the stock engine can take from those who've actually done it to their stock engines. This is going to be my next mod or QTPs LTs. If I get the nitrous without headers and I hurting the PUNCH by a lot?

I've pretty much made up my mind on the dry vs wet setup. I want a dry, but if you have anything you can tell me why the wet would be better as far as safety let me know. I know the wet punches a little harder, but fluids spraying up the throttle body...hmmmm don't know if that is a good idea. I am by no means an authority on this subject so please "edumacate" me. I need to know something my Tuesday, so I can place the order.

A dry kit on a mostly stock LS1 is still a kick in the pants. Yes you will be leaving alot on the table without optimizing your exhaust but you can do that later.

And as far as the dry/wet question...start going back through this section and there are a ton of posts on the subject highlighting the benifits of both. But ultimately it will be your decision for your own reasons. There is nothing so startling between the types that would be an obvious arguement either way...especially for a nearly stock car. Have fun! <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
