That really depends on the condition of your engine.. lots of guys run a 150 though. Just make sure you take the proper procautions.. I would run a wet kit and make sure you have a fuel pressure safety switch, window switch, also aftermarket ignition with timing retard.... Also get some copper plugs 2 colder..

its in pretty good shape 102k on it plan to put 110 with 91 to bring up the octane. They have everything laying around extra except an aftermarket timing retard and i dont have colder plugs how important would those be. it is a wet system i wont run a dry system.

i think you should not have problems maybe plugs (104's), not retard.
i was runing 150 on stock everything 160 deg thermostat and 91 fuel, you want to use a window switch to prevent back fires.

It will go out eventually, but you can get it to last for quite a while if you take proper precautions.

Make sure the 110 octane fuel you are going to run is unleaded.

When I was spraying I was running colder plugs. Crap still have cold plugs.

Colder no timing retard. 150 shot on the dyno. Held fine, but only went through two bottles.

if you arent going to spray it every chance you get, or only spray it when you go to the track ever so often, all the extra precautions wont be something you absolutely have to do. id reccomend a window switch and afterarket ignition system such as a crane or msd box. definetly go wet kit at a 150 shot.
