Most people dont really run into reliability problems until they take it over a 125 shot

Very difficult question to answer!

Last season I made over 75 track passes on the silly sauce, of those 10 were on the 150 shot, the rest were all on the 75 shot.

As of now I have used over 23 10 # bottles and no problems to report.

I was spraying from 3000 miles to 20,000 miles with nothing less than a 150 shot. I did run a few bottles of a 200 shot through it with a few mishaps (VERY lean). Death from busted ringlands.

THIS ONES FOR ME TO ANSWER. I had 40,000 miles when I put it on the car. I have now over a 100,000 miles on my LS1 and compression test were perfect. I started with a 100 shot Dry and Now am running a 125 wet, IMO is better. I have about 200 passes on the bottle also and Lots of Street runs also. These Engines are bad ***.

Where are you located??? I am also at teh same elevation and I have no problem spraying the 150. I get no knock on pump and full (28 deg.) timing. Remember elevation is kind of a safety net. our engines put out a lot less power up here, plus the air is thinner. Spray away, but do it with a WINDOW SWITCH. LOL

Well, I used to be friends with a guy that ran a dry 100shot of spray on his 99' WS6. He drove 45miles each way to work and had about 120,000 miles on the clock. His system brand was, NOS. That was then, and he probably has more mileage on it now. The nitrous system was used since the car was practically new. He never had any problems with the engine. He never raced it at the track, always on the freeway at about 2:00 am in the morning to speeds in excess of 145mph. The LS1 is a remarkably hardy engine if you treat it right and be practical.

that's what I was going to say, it all depends on how u treat ur car with the juice. That really goes for anything, even a stock motor. Just do everything right, don't PUSH ur engine and u'll be just fine for a LONG time.

I've been spraying the 100 dry for years, just tore down my engine and OMG, it was emaculate, virtually no wear on the cylinder walls, you could still see the original cross hatchings(think thats what there called), I want to put a 200 wet going through a fogger nozzle, dont know if it should be put before or after the maf?
