Spraying on an LT1 Mods:
jet hots
GMMG
CIA
1LE elbow
New fuel pump 6,000 miles on it maybe
AC delco plugs with maybe 10,000 on them(plugged them out when i did header install they looks really nice still, Gapped at .05)
I was thinking about NX kit spraying not more than 100 shot, maybe a random 125.
My car has 122,000 miles on it. The motor is still very strong.
Can I do this safely for less than 600 dollars for the kit?
Do I have to replace the plugs?
Input please

I run a 125 (rwhp) wet kit. If I were you I would get TR6's gapped at .035. To do it right you probably need to spend a little more than 600. I have a dynotune wet kit, auto bottle heater, purge, WOT switch and msd window switch. I think I have around 800 or so into it.

Go get some Autolite 104's. I ran a 150-175 shot every weekend for a couple years inmy LT1 and never fouled one. I changed them of course, but it wasn't because of a failed plug.

Tyr using the cold fusion nitrous jetting calculator. the NX tune ups seems a bit heavy for the power. I personally would avoid using much if any spray on an lt1 that old.

the LT1 is fine to spray at that mileage as long as the motor is in good condition. If you are worried about the miles a quick compression check will verify the cylinder condition.
You will want to change the plugs to the TR6's or equivilent heat range (6).
I can get you a pretty nice kit for the budget you have....
NX Main Line single nozzle $399
Digital WIndow switch $129
FPSS $49
Total $577

Rock on.....
How much are TR6s?
Some vender on here was going to sell me a NX kit.... it looked like a decent kit. I also want the safest kit. Also remote bottle opener. What is best application for me?
