Default Supercharged 5.3L. Thinking about adding a Wet Shot, Comments, Suggestions?

Here is my set-up.

2001 5.3L. Stock Internals. Procharger set at 11 lbs. 44 lb injectors, walbro fuel pump, Long Tubes, Side exhaust cat back 3", FLT LVL 7, Yank 3200. Truck made 370 / 370 at the wheels when dyno tuned.

Thinking of adding a 100 wet shot and spray before the maf. What are your suggestions. Thanks

Fuel pump?
No Meth to help fuel?

Other than a possible lean condition due to lack of fuel I say why not?

Oh, wet sprays after the MAF, ok?

No meth, Just the walbro 255 inline pump. I heard it would be safe from either a 50-100 as long as it was a wet shot. Any more advice would be appreciated. Just going to have a WOT switch for it to activate.

anybody else think the numbers are low for 11#s?
Why not change the cam and pickup power? way safer than spray
I bet with a LS6 cam you will gain over 40 at the tires

That was my first thought. I put down 367/407 at the rear on stock manifolds with 8psi on my MP112 with just a CAI and 22" magnaflow muffler on the stock piping.

Throw a cam in that since you already have the fuel pump and injectors to support it, you would have that on tap all the time and no bottle to refill.

EDIT: Just saw you are selling an LS6 cam, springs, and pushrods. Why not throw them in there since you already have it?

Numbers do sound a bit low. I was just over 400/400 at the wheels at 8 psi. That was with a turbo however. In any case, start with a small shot and go bigger from there to see how it feels.

sell the procharger and buy a turbo kit from Trick like I did. I made 338 or so with my procharger at 8psi. switched to a turbo about 10 psi and made 438/515. added an ls6 cam and alittle meth and made 486/505.


Or just spray the **** out of it, LOL.
