I have heard of guys that run a 200 shot on a stock ls1 but I think they had mods to support that. I think a 150 shot would be enough for you.

your pushing it with a 150 shot.

in order to do a 150 shot you need 42 lb injectors
fuel pump, tuning to drop timing and maybe some 2 step colder plugs than the tr6

other than that is just a matter of time, and then your going to hurt something

um actually a wet kit has nothing to do with injectors. just get a walbro fuel pump and pull a couple degrees of timing. you will be fine with a 125 or 150

If you stay with a 100 or 125 hit, you will really need to do nothing. Unless your fuel system is on it's way out, you can easly support this hit. Stock timing is also fine, no need to pull any. The only change you need is your plugs. I have run my own '97 coupe this way, and has many others. Still, I would log a/f and kr for ultimate safety. Also, staying small and not spraying through your shifts will allow the stock auto to live. Now some do a 150 hit like set up above, but that will have to be your call.

I would say 100 would be the most for right now till you get a tune or think about a fuel pump.

I just ordered the Cold Fusion wet plate kit from Nitrous Direct for my C6 A6 vette. Talk to Scott....he can fill you in on all the details.
