you can run a 100 shot with no problem. i'd suggest upgrading the ignition if you go any more than that. you will need to change plugs and gap for sure though. and definitely go wet.

i don't think 30# injectors are quite stock. like i said i wouldn't go more than 100 shot stock.

I just started running 100shot bro and my car has 160k so you should be fine. I didn't up grade anything so it a stock LT1 and 100shot. I use to run 75shot for like 2 month and had no problem so you should either.

i ran a 175 shot on a 99.9% stock longblock (had 1.6 rockers).
I did swap the fuel pump (smart thing to do) and had a msd digital 6 to pull some timing. engine had 64k miles on it.

pulled the engine to step up the program and everything inside was perfect.

I figured you'd jump on this thread...LOL. You forgot to mention the stock motor went 11.0's with the 175 shot.

i used the NOS 05176 dry kit on my 94 z28 years ago. went from 13.60 to 12.24 @ 113.90 auto with 2.73 gears. it comes with another inline fuel pump for the added fuel needed. it's set to 125.
