Default Going 125+ wet on head/cam

So I've been considering installing a EFI wet kit at 100-125 shot on top of my current build:

I made about 422rwhp/398rwtq on the dyno last year on stock plugs.

LS1 Block
224/230 .581/.590 114 lsa
Stage 1 PRC Heads - LS6s
TSP Headers7/8 - Catted Ypip
Borla non-adj w/ cutouts
Yank Pro 3600
3.42 gears
Bosch 36lbs injectors on Stock Fuel pump


I'm new to the nitrous systems. going to use a progressive controller, bottle heater and purge solenoid. Any recommendations/thoughts?

I run a 125 wet shot on my HCI LQ9. Its a NX single nozzle wet kit and i use a LNC-2000 to pull timing. You should be fine as long as you pull some timing, run the plugs and have adequate fuel.

First thing I'd suggest would be to upgrade the fuel pump to a 255 w/ hotwire harness so you know your covered on fueling.



After that other than the system for a good core setup would be to get a controller [ Window switch or progressive ], N20 gauge, and bottle heater [ Would suggest fully automatic version ]. Purge is purely optional IMO but nice to have to clear the line or show off .

Also feel free to holla at me here at the shop and I'd be more than happy to ask any questions or go over any concerns you might have.

I have the bottle heater, NOS progressive controller, and a purge. last time I ran on a dyno, I was close to full duty on the stock pump and 36lb injectors. I was hoping not to change the stock pump and injectors and spark plugs yet.

Bad idea man!
