Default Can it hold?

I am in the middle of redoing some stuff on my car. My motor has 120k on it, but....I just replaced my springs with Patriot Dual Extreme Golds, 7.4 hardened pushrods, new GM lifters, Vindicator cam(240/244 .608/.596 113 111ICL), SS long tubes, 2.5" tru duals w/ X dumped before the axle, LS2 timing chain, 160* thermostat, LS6 oil pump, 3500-3800 stall, trans cooler, 12 bolt, 3.73's, tru trac, 33 splines, 1350 yoke, ported TB, lid, ect all that stuff.

Can my engine handle a like..100-125 shot? Or any shot at all?

P.S. I just got GM performance red plug wires, new set of coils, and TR55's

Should I run a wet or a dry kit, I know the differences, and I read a bit into it....but on a dry kit, will I need to upgrade my injectors?

Ditch the tr55 for tr6, like mentioned earlier by blacktransam, and you will be fine. Did you mentioned you had bigger injectors? If not, you might want to check your IDC before throwing a dry shot on there to see if bigger injectors are needed.

Yea, looks like I will be switching out the plugs for TR6's, and no I do not have bigger injectors. I have stock injectors.

I wasn't being a douchebag, I just didn't see how that applied. I am asking if I should run a wet or dry shot.
