Default How much NOS ?

I have a 2000 Frc and i'm adding a MS3 along with PRC LS6 CNC heads next week. I would like to add a TNT 150 plate system. Am i going to have any problems with my short block holding up, i know the clutch will need replacing but if i remember correctly i read somewhere that my rod bolts or rods won't be up to the task. I'm not really going to take her to the track just some highway runs. Thanks for all the help.

Thats gonna be alot of power. I would get a fuel pump for sure. As far as shortblock...youll be pushing it. i would do a 100 first and see where you land. Then make a call. Try to keep tq below 625 rwtq or so.

If i go with a 100 to 150 shot and use a controller will that help the short block hold together, its a 2000. Any info would be great. STEVE

Order some rod bolts and a fuel pump at the same time.

TNT Plate system? TNT rates theres a little conservative, okay, a lot. So, going 100 would be similar to some at 150, more less a compromise b/w the two. I would stay 100, hell you might like it. What intake setup? Fair advice, get a fuel pump upgrade, with the HC, tuning your pushing the 100, but 150 I dont think would fly to well at all on a stock pump with that setup. You can also avoid the fuel pump upgrade and get a dedicated fuel system, which I would recommend for you anyway. Allows you to run race gas in the cell and pump in the tank. GL

Steve,
Adding Rod bolts may be allittle more work than you want to do. You can spray a 150 on the stock bottom end with no problems.

Dave, i read somewhere that i want to keep my TQ number under 625 on a stock short block is that correct? I might be close to that with the combo i have. Could you also PM a price for you 100-150 shot system with a window switch, also do you recomed and outer saftey stuff. This is for a 2000 C5.
