How big should i go? Dry shot Now, before i start, I know this will be answered with opinions which is perfectly fine with me, as it is kicking my *** trying to decide. The car:
2002 Firehawk M6
-346 LS1 58K miles, stock bottom end
-PRC LS6 heads with CNC porting
-TR230 cam
-Ported Oil pump
-All bolt ons except pulley, TB
-255 In tank pump
-42# Injectors
-various other supporting mods im forgetting
-Hybrid dry system, based off an HSW kit.
Now, heres the dillema. Though it may seem simple, i am stuck between 25 measly horsepower and i cannot make a decision. I have not yet dynoed the car, and i am fairly sure it should have north of 400RWHP, key word is should. Now, My original plan was to run a 100 shot on the motor, but im starting to say to myself "well, why else would i have a 125 jet laying around" and asking if i should go ahead and spray a 125 vise a 100 shot. Will i have enough fuel? Will my stock bottom end handle it? I want to make sure it will be good before i actually do it. It may have a bottle run through it every 3 or 4 months. wont be sprayed very often, mostly for fun on the street, and a grudge match with a vortech blown-331ci. 95 cobra making 470 at the wheels.

Hell a 125rwhp shot is a walk in the park. I did all the way to 285rwhp on 42's and a pump and never ran out of fuel. You should be good for 600rwhp, if the drivetrain can support it, and you have the correct tune and want to really push the stock bottom end. 550rwhp over all is a better range to live a long life, once again given tune is correct, but a 125 no problemo.
