Default 50 shot N20 through the RADIX

Will the Radix take a 35 or 50 wet shot? I have heard issues of fuel puddling. Any other issues? Talked to Scott at Nitrous Direct and he seems to think it would be fine but, I want my truck not to blow up. Did a search, no straight answers, anybody actually running N20 with a Radix?

Why ask this question twice.....Cory already answered it for ya! Unless a H2 racer isn't good enough for you...

Don't need sales bad enough to have people blowing up their stuff, we actually turn people down when we feel they are doing something that will put their vehicle in real jeapordy. We like long time repeat customers. You're struck will really enjoy a 50/75 shot

My other post was aking why the limit on shot size. I got good answers from Scott at Nitrous Direct today about that. However, after I did another search today I read about people being concerned with fuel puddling inside the Radix which could lead to the Radix shooting through my hood I know CHarris has done it a few times and said it worked well. I was just wondering if more are doing it and any problems they may have encountered. After speaking to Scott, a 35 to 50 shot sounds like all I would be safe shooting and probably all I would need.I just like to be thorough in my research. I can afford the 500-600 for the N20 kit but not $$$ for another engine.
Scott--I wasn't suggesting you would sell me something just to make a sale and disregard my engine. Sorry if it came off like that. I just look for other opinions besides the person/business that gets paid. I do this with anything I buy.
If I blew up the engine and had to buy a 408 to replace it, the wife would get mad So it seems as if everyone is in agreement that a small shot is safe and will be fun No special tuning required?

How do you intend to fuel it? What are your injectors running at now 80%?100%? 115%? If you are going to rely on the MAF you would want to know that you had enough injector and MAF left to cover it. If your maf is maxed already but the injectors are okay then you will have trial and error to make it work.

That's why I went wet after thinking it over for a while.

I was told wet was safer as well. Don't really remember why but I gave up on a dry kit. That's why I asked about puddling. I already have some oil sitting in the bend on the radix. I don't want gas in there as well.

I run a 50 dry adding fuel to the tables above 2500rpm to keep the A/F'S on check and run cooler spark plugs for safety.You might have to take some timing out too.I did not want to run a wet system in case of back fire and blow the blower out the hood.That would for sure give the LIGHTNING guys something to about at the track.

This set up seems to work out good for me.
