I personally would not do a 300 thru the power ring down the intake. If you really wanted to try you could use that in conjunction with something like the NX/FJO mini dual stage controller or NX MAximizer to limit the spray by RPM. That will alow for much greater safety margin in the lower rpms.

I would recomend either one of two things to do it right.
One...is to upgrade your injectors if needed and then get a nice dry kit such as Daves Halo ring to spray a 125 shot at say 3000 rpm. And then have your TNT power ring bring in another 175 or so at around 4500-4800 rpm. That way you only have 175hp worth of fuel flowing down the intake and it will be at higher rpms. Use either a dual stage window switch or the dual stage NX/FJO mini controller with that.

The second would be to go direct port. You could sell the kit you have now...or parts of it. You could keep the bottle and just get the direct port kit minus bottle. The prices on these are more reasonable than you may think. But keep in mind cost of plumbing the direct port if you arent going to do it yourself.

The rec that 383 gave is right on. I am contemplating a 300 shot on my stock long block doing something similar. My existing dual stage, 100rwhp 1st stage dry on in first gear at 300rpm, then 2nd stage dry 75rwhp on at 4100rpm in second gear, then a DP (new addition replacing a 3rd dry) 125rwhp on at 5100rpm also in second and progressively controlled to 6400rpm for a total of 300hp on stock long block. Will it survive, I think so, as the ls6 can tke quite a bit in the higher rpms. If not, then a new C6 Z06 will be had or a ls7 transplant (please blow up ).
