Yea I know it'll take 150 shot. I'm just wondering if anything should be changed when I get to the 200 mark? Like rings or anything like that. My tuner is good but I would rather take extra precaution before the summer

I hit my stock ls1 with a 150 plate and a 100 dry lol Its taken 15+ bottles so far. I'd say with a good tune you could spray a 350+ on a direct port kit.

The kit will be a plate set up. Don't feel like messing with all those jets and lines for a direct port. Haha 350 is a lot of nitrous and I won't be going near that. I think the most I'll go is a 250 shot. But the pushing water is a good question. And as of right now I don't have a controller but that's something I'm looking into a little later on.

I have stock bottom end 02 ls1 Camaro. And I have a head studs and dual springs/hardened pushrods/ls7ifters with milled 243 heads and I've been hittin it with a 150 on a wot switch in 2nd gear and then hit the 100 dry on top of the wet in 3rd gear. With a good enough tune And cold plugs i think you'll be fine.

I'll be spraying right out the hole. Might go two stage later but right now going to get it dialed in on one kit. Think the cam will be fine? It was meant for a motor build but I figure a 200 won't affect it but I'm no expert

150 shot would be perfectly safe IMO. I'm no expert tho so take that how ever you please. Just make sure to run a cold enough plug and pull timing. Plug read and tune accordingly
