Could a 375rwhp n/a lt1 handle a 100 shot?
Could a 375rwhp n/a lt1 handle a 100 shot?
I have 87K on my car, compression is good, and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. I had 375rwhp n/a, could I handle a 100 shot to the wheels if its tuned ok? How would the pistons, rings, rods, ect... hold up to? I wouldn't spray it that much, mabey a bottle a month... I know it would probably be fine short term, but waht about a few years down the road?

I think you would be okay. You might want to look into a upgraded fuel pump. Figure you already have a cam and the stocker has 87K on it.

(Mods in sig)....No problems here
.........Tuned well without leaving "any" safety features out of the picture, it could be fine for many, many years.........I have over 6 years with a 150 dry shot on my bottom end...I couldn't even begin to count the bottle refills over the years
..Im now running a 125 (to the wheels) wet kit....with NA Horsepower right around what you mentioned(mabe just slightly over)........compression is still perfect and dosn't burn a drop of oil...

As long as you are getting enough fuel and you are running all of the proper safety equipment, you should be fine. I would be more so worried about the rearend if anything.

As long as your tuned for it and it has an adequate fuel supply, I think you will be fine. I owned a '93 Corvette before that was stone stock with a 175 NX shot. It dynoed rear wheel 235 NA and 375 on N2O. Yes, the motor was maxed this way and I did not go further. But making 375 to start NA is less stressful on a stock short block than my N2O 375. In closing, the total stress should be within the breaking limits of your setup. I think you could possibly handle the 150 for the sake of answering your question. However, if it were my car I would limit the total to a 100.
