I have been running a pieced together 100 dry shot for about two years now with the only problem being I froze the maf one time when I set up the nozzle too close to it. Lots of guys have had good luck with the NX wet kits too.

If you want cheap, realiable 100 shot why not get the Compucar Dry Kit. Only $400, and adjusts up to 125 on stock V8s, no mods required. Ive had one of these on my Blazer for over a year w/75 shot. Clean, 30 minute install too.

400 from where? "very interested"....... That sounds good to me... what kind of a gain could I expect to see with 100 shot? I'm guessing i'm running around 13.8 now.

Ok, the engine will hold, but what about the tranny? Everyone I have talked to around here that has an EC w/100 shot or better goes through trans like crazy!

I like the NX kits, as they have the better remote bottle openers. Also they have a fire n ice kit, that automatically keeps it at the pressure desired. I have installed a couple different kinds and I like the NX kits better, but thats my preference. They can get expensive, thats the problem. If you spray, you will need to atleast install a Trango/Billet servo's. I am not sure how long it will last, but the shiftkit and servo's will help reduce failure of the trans.

I am running a .052 jet which comes out to ~100shot. Still running stock internals except for a 2k vette cam but I sprayed the stock cam till just a few months ago. Motor is still fine at ~90k miles but I am on my third tranny.

Will about a 50shot hurt anything? Will it help any?
