Several questions about setup? 200 shot Ok I have a few questions here I didnt know what forum to put it in so let me know if this is the wrong one. My motor is apart and it has forged connecting rods and pistons going in. I have a TSP 231/237 .598 .595 cam in right now and I am wanting to spray around a 200 shot. Is this a good cam choice? Also can I spray more than a 200 shot with those internals? Is there a better cam choice for nitrous spraying a 200 or larger. I am looking to make around 450 to the wheels on motor or closer to 500 and was wondering if I need a larger cam. I have patriot ls6 heads, a new professional products intake with the 96mm opening and TB, Kooks longtubes, SLP loudmouth, K&N filter lid and several small things like that. Any ideas on mods to help me get there that I dont have? I am not worried about the drivetrain that is in the works also to handle the power. Should I just get a cam specd to what I want thats what I am thinking. ALSO what sort of fuel pump-system do I need to handle this. I know its long sorry and thanks for your help I love this site!
Whats is the rest of your motor combo that you hope to make 450-500 with? Anyway that is a good cam for spray.
You can hit the forged parts with a bigger than 200 shot.
A walbro 255 pump should suffice.

Ya with forged pistons and rods your car will be completely fine for a 200 shot.. First you need to make sure and put it on the dyno to get the A/F to make sure that you are getting enough fuel while on the 200 shot. As for your cam i think your cam should do just fine for what you want, but if you really want you could get patrick G to spec you out one for your specific setup.
I would say as for your exhaust, go with some True duals, or a cut out. The duals will give you more power just your preference on loudness.
Also with forged pistons and rods, your car will definitely be able to handle up to prob a 300 shot it all just depends if you can get the fuel there for it
.
Hope this helps.

what else do I need to be able to get to 450 thats what I would be happy with. I also had a tune done on the car with just a cam no heads or intake for a 200 shot will I be ok with that for a while till I can get the car there. It also has main and head studs on the way to put in it I might go up to a 250 if that sounds ok but will stick with 200 for now also do I need to run better than 93 octane and should I try and raise my compression some its probably about 10.5 right now

As for running 93 on the spray, if you tune for it on spray it should be OK.

If your an M6 then 450 should be pretty easy to come by, if your a stalled auto i wouldn't get your hopes up for 450
as for an auto shows its numbers at the track.The parts will hold up to a 250 shot no problem. Also IIRC i heard Brad8266 is spraying a 300 shot
and running 9.8s i think 
. Anyways just make sure your timing and A/F is correct before you even think about spraying it i really dont want to see another post about another motor crapping out 
.I hope your going with a 2 stage bc if your spraying off the line i can almost bet that traction will be limited. Only way to really tell is to go to the track and figure that one out, but most of the tracks nowadays, or at least here in Bama track prep sucks.
