If your car is a 98 it should do OK, but if you have a 99-Up U best replace your fuel injectors with some bigger ones to run that size shot, and always a good idea to get a better Fuel Pump

I think an intake pump would be better but try the inline, it should be ok. As far as timing, I can run about 26* of timing with the 150 shot on pump gas. Have fun.

Just curious, why would you reccomend injectors? The TNT nozzles can provide more than enough fuel to feed the motor, I've sprayed a TNT 200 shot with stock injectors and my A/F ratio was a solid 11.2-11.5 for the whole run.

I have always heard the 99 and above injectors cant handle a 150 shot, mostly on a stock tune, but I guess you would just richen the fuel jet and it would take care of that problem. But if he was just to run a stock tune without having Autotap to keep and eye out he may have problems unless he has all the safety messures in place.

If it was a dry shot yes but, being a wet kit, it does not rely on anymore fuel from the injectors other than the amount meant to feed the motor N/A. Even if the kit went lean the injectors wouldn't add any additional fuel since your spraying behind the MAF.

Thanks, so I should be alright to run the car with a stock tune.
I heard that you should retard the timing like 1.5*

I am going to spray the 150 shot this weekend hopefully if the rain stays away. I just installed a vig 3200 and LCA's and a TA. I'm hoping for a low 11 or high 10!

The thing is, I still have a stock tranny and stock rear w/ 2.73's!

It should be fun. I'm just making sure the tune is going to be the best I can make it.

Thanks again guys

i agree 100%.its a wet kit! he doesnt need bigger injectors.i talked directly with Sam at TNT(very nice and helpful guy),and he said if your going to run a 150-shot...granted you have to buy the jets(kit comes w/75-125),he highly recommends a Walbro in-tank 255LPH fuel pump. good luck! BTW i would get a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch, if you have an M6 get a window switch,bottle heater always helps.the gauge comes w/ the kit.definately put a fuse in-line w/ the power wire to the relay.
