Default 150 shot??

Ok I just installed a 150wet shot on my 04 CTS-V heads/cam set up in sig also new TR6's. Would it be safe to spray with stock injectors and pump? Should I be scared to spray it?

I would say you're close to the border on the pump. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge you can watch or a wideband? If not, definately get it on a dyno to verify there isn't any pressure drop or any lean conditions. Always better safe than sorry.

Why not start a little lower? start with 100 shot and work your way up.

do you have the safty shut off switch? if you motor becomes to full of N2O and isent getting enough fuel it will shot your N2O off automaticly. IF this happens and you dont got the safty shut off switch and you have no fuel just wet n2o say good bye to your motor its gonna gernade on you. anything over 100 shot i was told to have the safty switch. there like 70$ on texas-speed.com you may want to look into it 70$ to save your motor if you dont already have one.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as suggested above, maybe just do a small shot to get you by for the time being.

I dont know about the stock CTS V fuel pump spec, but I ran out of fuel on a 75shot on my SS with H/C..Good thing I had that FPSS! You do need that fuel pump upgrade I'd say. And its not that bad to do the install too if you ask me.

125 is the max you want to spray on the ls6, without a upgraded pump. jet it for 125 and call it a day

you need a 255 intank. just mess around with a 75 or 100 shot. Than once you have it swap the jets.

I would get a new fuel pump (255lph). Don't worry about the injectors, you'll be fine because you are using a wet kit.

uhm, it has been covered in one post: Walbro 225lph or Racetronix kit with hotwire. I wouldnt even spray a 75shot before getting the new pump.
Ask any sponsor in the nitrous section and they'll be more than happy to get a quote on a pump kit. I got mine from Nitrous outlet and those guys are really easy to work with.

Racetronix/hotwire kit is easy to install, top quality and good for 600+rwhp. Everything is included in the kit. Check any sponsor in this list ----------------------------------------------------------------->

Every car is different. But the average rull of thumb is about 450-500 HP on the stock pump in that car. If you are going to a do shop ad do not want to install a guage on the car you could see if they have a test gauge you can borrow while tunning. Honestly its not worth pushing it though. Time to upgrade that fuel system so you can continue to feed those ponys.
