Default Would you spray?

Hello all-

I have a 99 SS I've had a 5177, 100 shot kit on for a while. I had it dyno tuned for the juice and the headers. put down 407/480.

I am in the process of doing: Ported TB, LS6 intake, 38# lucas injectors, ESP Cam (~TR224), holley inline 255 pump. I SHOULD put down 400/385 with the cam and mods.

Would you guys spray with the cam as well? The cam alone will fill my need for power on the street. Spraying it would pretty much be a "big *****" thing on the dyno, since it's already installed. I'm just worrying about putting out 480+rwhp on a stock motor. (Plugs are TR6's)

What do you think? Thanks again.

I would spray, but I would get an in-tank fuel pump instead of an inline. As long as your tune is good, you have nothing to worry about. If it really worries you then just stick with N/A.

I spray because I HATE to lose a race................I say spray it but be careful because nitrous is very addictive.

I also has just the 5177 kit on my car with bolt ons, then i got the cam and supporting mods, and it was very fun to drive, but then spraying the 100 shot on top of the cam just makes it flat out bas ***!
