Default Rather safe than sorry!

What is the biggest shot I could run on my stock WS6? I have a few mods but nothing serious, just LS6 manifold and cutout... I've been told its ok to run like a 100 shot but some people say its pushing it and is better to run like a 75 shot... I want to run a 100 shot but I don't want to mess my car up... its the only one I have! Help me out guys, I want my nitrous!

75 or 100 shouldn't be a problem at all.i have a 150 shot with a cam also.513 rwhp at 12:0 afr with stock pump.i know that is stretching it so i've got a racetronix pump to install soon.i used the 100 1 time and imediately put in the 150s and didn't look back.

If you go with a wet kit & fuel pump you should be able to go 150 no problem with stock tune and mostly stock motor. Just check your A/F ratio with a wideband, make sure your not detonating, and you sould be good to go. Make sure you swap your plugs and look into some saftey devices such as window switches, fuel pressure saftey switches and things like that.

That's the way to do it. It's not worth half assing it to save a few hundred bucks.

100-125 wet shot + a window switch(MSD) set to spray at 3k and shut off at 6k is extremly reliable from what ive been hearing. cant wait to get that setup myself.

Thats what BlownFRC had when he was running nitrous, and it was completely reliable, cept he was running 150 shot... I think 100-125 will be all I need. or is it?
