Nitrous and Cam?
Nitrous and Cam?
Hey guys, I have a full bolt on 99 Trans am WS.6. I ran a 125 and a 150 wet shot last year and loved it. The car only got maybe 2 bottles threw it before i blew the rear end. This year i upgraded to a ford 9" and i also threw in a texas-speed camshaft. The cars a full bolt on, 6 spd, stock internal motor(besides the cam, springs, pushrods, timing chain, oil pump)
I have a NX wet kit with all the safety features, fpss, heater, purge, wot switch, window switch (3200-5900 rpms or so) ect ect. I also have it pulling around 2 degrees of timing when the nitrous is activated.
My question is, is a 150 shot alittle to much to be pushing with a camd car? Should i take the shot down to a 125 or even a 100 hp jet?

The hard parts can handle the power the car is producing, the big question is can your fuel system handle the HP demand?
I am going to assume you make ~400whp and the stock fuel system can only support ~450whp. If you do not have one already I would reccomend upgrading the fuel pump before spraying the car. The Racetronix Fuel Pump and harness will get you up to the 6-650whp range.

So with that being said, would it be ok to keep the 150 wet shot?

you might need to pull 2-4* of timing to be on the safe side
