With a progressive controller I hope...or no? I know BMR was hitting that '04 GTO with 200...but wondered if it was a direct port or progressively controlled.

I ran a 200 shot last year - TNT wet system. Best times in my signature. Possibly going to a 250 shot this year. No progressive controller. Right out of the hole off the trans brake.

The key: great suspension; an aftermarket fuel pump; bigger injectors; a great tune.

I dont know, with a good fuel system and an experienced and real good tuner tuneing your car id say a 250 shot. But the rod bolts might not hold up to that kind of power. 250 is alot of gas. Safely id say a 200 shot all day long.

I can say with experience a 200 dry shot on stock tune and fuel system is to much.

Safely without any issues I would say 200hp. A friend of mine has been doing it for a couple of years now. Using multiple stages or prog. controllers you could probably do quite a bit more (250-300?).
