Wet System???? If tuned correctly and direct ported nitrous and you have the fuel pump to keep up and injectors to feed it and all the safety switches.. I don't see any reason you couldn't do 200 out of the hole, and another 200-300 on your second stage. The only concern would be the 4:56 gears. You may run out of gear - but I wouldn't change them until you make a couple of runs. Also, since you have everything else, make sure you are running good race gas - 110+. IMO there is no reason what so ever to a stand-alone gas tank. Just make sure you have the fuel pump to keep up. Tuning will be your key.

Good luck

David

Might want to replace the th350 with a th400 before you scatter it all over the track tho

200/200 is where im going to start , then move up from there .

Put a wide band in the car so you can watch the a/f and go out and knock off some 9s

Im doing the same motor but im going with the AFR 225's , lingenfelter heads are over priced and they use factory head castings which dont have the thickness/strength that the AFR's have and we need all the strength we can get for serious nitrous motors .

The amount of shot will depend on the actual parts you use in the engine.diffrent forged parts will take different amounts.
