The tune is definet key but i know you can't control some of the things that you said.I run egts so hopfully i can catch things before its to late.Last year was so bad with so many problems including a motor failure in the begining of the season (no spray) that i was thinking about going back to a bigblock.I know bigblock guys spray the **** out of there stuff.

no replacment of cubic inches that is for sure. Plus, ya can make alot more power on motor, and not have ot spray it so much.. making things easier.

But, in the big block world an 8 second car with nitrous is pretty much commonplace... ya'd have to push for 7's to really be doing anything noteworthy.

right now im on a 380 shot (according to the jet calculator) progresively controlled with nothing more than gm mls gaskets and arp head bolts. it hasnt lifted the heads yet but ive only got like 4 passes on it so far since the install. i trying to get the tune dailed before i keep going on with the spray, witch i think im in over my head with that one.

my little 346 stock crank ect took 300 for a full season and a half. that was a great set u[p working well for a while.

i think with a 2 stage setup 400 is no problem as long as everything works together.

an injector failing or **** in a nitrous jet ect, thats out of control of the motor. any motor big block small block ect will burn up at that point.
but the motor it self should have no issue with a 400 imo. and towards gthe end of a season bump it up 100 and see what happens

Tuff , you have 1/2 inch studs or the stock size L19 studs ?
The engine i'm building now is a 408 (callies crank , callies pro beam rods , wiseco shelf piston ) . I'm gonna be ordering some custome pistons with the thick ringland and some hellfire ring . I'm going to run an holley hp carb on it . The nitrous is gonna be a direct port NX with combo flo pneumatic solenoids that I already bought (those are cool ) . The most important reason I bought those solenoids is that there is no way one solenoid can open and the other stay closed . My plan is to run max 400 shot .
The heads are APE stage 3 head that I would like to use but I'm thinking alot because the deck thickness .I'm going to o ring the block and put reciever groove in the heads . With the o ringed block and reciever groove in the head with copper gasket , do you think i would still have problem lifting heads with stock size L19 head studs ?

i hit 300+ on my alum blocks. **** 300+ on stock crank.
400 is easy with the proper setup, and you save 90 pounds or more!

I have seen 300 or so on a aluminum block. Going to a 500 I would make it a Iron Block..

I've seen a few street racers around here spray 400+ without any problems on there ls1's.I plan on spray mine 400+ on two kits.The way i look at it is......It's in the tune-up/set-up working together.

Brad,
My thoughts is that the Iron Block would be stronger and have less give. I like the wait savings of the aluminim block as well. Im just concerned with the aluminum block and aluminum heads and that much cylinder pressure. I am not a expert in this area. This was just my thought process. I wonder what the largest shot is that someone has been able to consistantly spray on a all aluminum set up with no problems.

I was told the L19 standard size stud is equal to a 1/2 stud.I have the L19 standard size stud.A bit pricey but still cheaper.

my car was near 1000 rwhp and it was fine. no issues. i have no worry about what it can handle. im not pushing it hard this year, but only because im looking to enjoy the car again unlike befor. i just want to hang big wheelies, and run 9.5 all day long and try to win some $$$

So your car was an aluminum block. Thats cool. Hmmm maybe I can push this aluminum block further than I thought.
Thanks

well, my stock block went god knows how many passes!!!

but my ls2 block went about 10-12 passes on 1 stage 250, but only made 1 pass 2 stages but the block was fine besides the scratches on the wall, but that was a bumb injector
but i pushed no water!

heres a question, why would u put a dry shot on after the maf, doesn't it have to go before the maf so it can add the right amount of fuel/shot.? maybe thats why you were joking about 16.0 afr. idk just clarifying

I am currently getting my parts ordered and block work done at Wheel 2 Wheel right now. The motor is being setup for spray, and they said it will be setup right to take the abuse.

They are going to install 1/2" head studs, o-ring the block, reciever groove the heads, straight copper head gaskets etc etc.

They are also ordering a set of their custom spec JE pistons for it. I believe the head engine builder Billy B., said they are going to go with 14.4:1 compression, custom spec 3d mill dome, ceramic coating on the top of the piston, teflon coatings on the sides, gas ports, lowered ring lands, special rings and piston pins, etc etc. Should be a badass setup when I get it back. It is supposed to be done in about 2-3 weeks
