Im going to try a 62/35 shot on my truck here as soon as the track opens here. I am going to log it first to make sure my injector duty cycles are ok. After that I may put some octane booster in it. With stock everything. (well tranny is from gm high performance)

Cool! Do you need some 31lbs injectors? I have some I need to sale. The hole idea for the separate fuel system is you don't have to rely on the injectors or the fuel pump to supply the extra fuel and you can run 118oct in it so no octane boost is needed.

Yea I dont have a seperate fuel cell for higher octane gas. Im just goin to let her eat. I think I will be safe. NX says that I should be safe with that shot and jetting.
Anything above that and I may see issues. I believe crazy cutter got 488 rwhp on stock fuel pump and stock injectors. Thats damn impressive. Im pretty sure he will chime in here soon. No, thanks on the injectors. I think the stock ones will be ok. I dont plan on spraying much more than this.

if you are going to do it make sure to go with a fuel pump or it may not be good but yeah some people have done it and grey silver has a diferent pump and a fuel cell so make sure to put everything into the equation i wouldnt go over 150 until the 408 is done then see what it can take

Yeah I did that on pump gas all stock components, I defenitaly reccomend race gas & dropping the timing, after my last pass & ended up haveing to change the plugs. It actually ran rich & blew a good bit of black smoke during the pull.

I can verify this as well since I was at the dyno with him! He also has done 220 shot at the track a few times as well. It can be done without any problems-would I do it-hell no but I dont know your situation and abilities so I cant speak for you. If I would have done waht CRAZYCUTER4.8 did I would have blown my engine but thats my luck- I buy a crazy n20 system with everything(really everything) possible-all the accessories and safety devices and the 2nd time I sprayed I F'd something up wich ended up having a role in my 4.8 getting killed but CRAZYCYTER4.8 pieced together a kit with a pushbutton Hurst telephone cord switch and sprays twice the shot I was and sprayed it about 105 times to my 5 times and he hasnt had any problems. I just dont want you to go into the dyno session not worried about it because some people have pulled it off but if you got the money to fix it dont use any jets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea I sound just like crazy cutter. I have a kit pretty much just like that. I have sprayed a 125 (crank) shot many of times. Probably well over 200 times. Havent had any problems. I plan on spraying a 175 (crank) shot this time at the track. Of course I plan on logging and everything.
O I am not going to try to spray without the jets. I know better than that.
I think I will be fine. NX says you are fine with a 150 rwhp shot. We will see.
