If you spray upwards of 300+ ur gonna have to keep it super rich to make sure some cylinders don't go lean cuz it will not distribute evenly, I was fine on a 300 shot for a long time till I tried to lean it out to where it should be and then it bit me in the ***!

I've heard from quite a few people that 250 is the recommended limit. Past that you start to run into distribution issues.

If you have a Z06 (avatar handle ?) check out the Z06 Fast List at vetteforum in the power adder catagory and see if you can find a wet kit in the top ten, then see if ya can find a 1/2 dozen dry hits. This should give ya a truck load of insight into the Z06/ls6. The forged bottom end can handle more than you could safely run down the neck concerning a wet hit. If your set on going big and wet, you may want to consider going DP after about 200/250 combined. Some are doing it big and wet, but myself will stay big and dry and dual/triple stage.

A 300 shot through the throttle body with nozzles is pushing it. I have customers spraying 300 through our plate with great results due to how much our plate breaks up the mixture. I have also had customers in the past spray 300 through nozzles with no problems. At this hp level you really need to strat relying on reading the plugs. Do not depend on a wide band because it gives you an over all reading. Reading the plugs will tell you if you have a cylinder burning different. A directport would be more idea. If you need help figuring out your tune nad reading the plugs hit me up. I will guide you in the correct direction.

LOL, yea well, find someone else whom is pushing a 300rwhp shot through the MAF. If ya want to stay on the cutting edge, we have to find out what works the best. We'll see ya at the dyno shoot out, and we'll find out just how well it's working.
