I'm thinking of adding a little spray to my currently NA motor. I got a TR230 cam with headers and the car put down 400RWHP. What is the biggest hit I can do without worrying about my bottom end scattering all over the track.

PS: Marc I am not going to hit it with a 200 shot because I know you are gonna suggest it!

My current mod list and dyno graph is here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/476349-tr230-224-a4-dyno.html

EDIT> I already got an upgraded fuel pump from here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-sales-specials/590962-direct-fit-intank-pumps-hot-wire-kits.html and I know i'll probably need more injector.

 

You can do a 150 wet. just hit it at a higher RPM rather than at 3000.

 

I'm probably gonna have to change my converter, I don't think my PT4000 is gonna like me hitting it with this much spray.

My concern is, I've seen people scatter their motor on the track with a 200 shot, Some progressive some not. Since I already added 100HP N/A, how can I add more than 100HP more with spray and not be concerned?

 

Just spray the **** out of it. When you do, make sure you have my phone number handy. When it blows, I'll drive by, shaking my head, and say "You really shouldn't have sprayed that much."



I'd think you'd be fine with a 100 shot, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing any more if it were my car.

 

I was thinking 75-100 myself and maybe progressively controlling that to reduce the shock.

BTW, you on Dayton Fbody?

 

150 shot wet will be fine if it is installed correctly and you
tune your car for it....

 

I have LS1 Edit so I can tune whatever.

 

How did you know i was gunna say a 200 shot

 

The 150 will be fine, just tune it good, shoot for like mid 11 AFR and pull a few degrees of timing. 400 + 150 = 550. Your block can handle 550HP provided the tune is good.

 

I know you.

I think i'll start out small with a 75 and go from there most likely. Not sure I have stones large enough to hit it with a 150 but it's nice to know it should be able to take it.

 

yeah play it safe and spray the 72, then a 125, and then a 150.

 

Nope...I'm lazy, antisocial, and shy. And not necessarily in that order.

 

Great, I hate people and we never do anything!

Ever make it to Kil-Kare? We rent it out every now and then.

 

I actually just moved here two months ago, and am waiting on my Strange 12-bolt to come in. I'd feel pretty nervous with the current condition of my 10-bolt. Once I get that squared away, I'll probably make an appearance. It is only a few minutes away, which is really nice (compared to the 3 hour drive it used to take me).

 

Well if you get brave and want to hang with another anti-social person, let me know! I'm always up for wrenching.

 

bleh, i say 100-125. Its the torque thatll get ya.

 

gillbot
so you finally decided to use that NX kit.Im meeting up with Marc thurs to do more logging on the street and check out my injectors,thinkinking of going with a dry noy sure though.Oh and I see that you finally decided on a pump how is it working?

 

why waste your time with a 75 shot??

theres stickies in this forum.. feel free to use them..

 

To make sure the kit is working properly for one.

Stickies are usually one person's opinion, I'd prefer to get a 2nd, 3rd, etc....

 

400 rwhp & 150 shot & no problems here. Just pull some timing, make sure the a/f is nice and safe and spray away.
