What would be a safe horsepower boost to run on a pretty much stock Lt1? I was thinking about 125 hp dry shot. What about wet? The only mods I have are Slp intake and Crapmaster Exhaust. Thanks for any help.

 

do a search. i vote 100, but some say 150, more is asking for problems.

 

Depends on the tune. My stock LT1 (bolt-ons but valve covers never off) got a healthy dose. Made 180+ more at the wheels on the juice.

 

my valve covers have never been off either! been spraying for 3 years filling the bottle sometimes more than once a week for 3 years.

 

i was running a stock shortblock LT1 with 11.2:1 compression, and already making 425+ rwhp on motor. sprayed 200hp on top of that very often both at the track and on the street and had no problems. never used anything more than 92-93 octane pump gas

 

on motor is 425 then 17psi of boost?

 

i wasnt talking about my current engine. was talking about the stock shortblock heads/cam combo i had a few years ago since the post was asking about what you can get away with spraying on a stock LT1. that was about 4 engines and 3 cars ago

 

I was thinking about a 125hp wet shot after a head/intake/cam/LT header install as well as a good PCM tune. Would I be able to safely get by on a 125 shot on stock interiors? Or would a 100 shot be better

 

I'd say with a stock LT1 and stock fuel pump a 100 wet shot is fairly safe. Upgrade the fuel pump and 150 should be fine.

 

Im getting ready to drop a 383 stoker, fully forged internals, turbo, headers, pretty much full bolt ons in my car and the most ill be spraying is 100, i feel the more you use, the more u are wanting to blow your car up. why risk 125 on a stock motor, some people might beable to get away with it but doesnt mean your motor doesnt have a weak spot that could just be enough for that 125 to say bye bye. plus dotn u want to make your car all engine and not rely on the ***** juice so much

 

Isn't that what this particular forum is about?

 

the forum is about n2o, but what i think he was trying to say is what good is a car with 100hp and a 200 shot? if your car is weak with out n2o, how cool is it with it?

 

Disregard Redthunder1994, he's never used nitrous, he dont know Also, ask him how he is going to fund this "stroker" of his, Mark, you dont stand a chance against me homeboy. Bow to the master biotch!!

 

I also used to run ( a few engines ago) a 175 shot on stock bottom end, with a hot cam and ported heads on pump gas too.

By the way Darren, how's it going haven't talked to you in a while?

 

Man those TNT kits are nice safe kits. Are you guys retarding the timing too?
