i would say at least a 175 shot....maybe 200. Obviously a wet kit.

i read that the wet kit is better for your motor than the dry kit... and what is the big difference between the carb plates.. some have the bar through the middle adn some spray out of the sides.? whats the best ... as well as how much shot can i put through on a consistant basis without hurting my motor

bars, or permimiter spray dont have too much differences, the bars through the middle have been around the longest. On a stock style piston, anything over 200 is prob gonna be living on borrowed time

since it is a 351 block it has alot stouter mains than a 302...i wouldnt hesitate hittin it with a 200 shot!

I wouldnt worry about the bottom end, its the stock style piston, if its not forged, cross the fingers

I was wondering the same thing for my motor... I have a 408w with 4340 forge internals and forge probe pistons. I guess from what yall are saying i should be able to spray a easy 200 wet shot onto my setup? But will the block hold up? Thanks for the info...

on my forged 351 i plan on shooting over 200 75 off the line and 175 shortly after that.

Id spray the 200 and not look back, make sure the air/fuel is good, forged doesnt mean it wont break, just means it will take a more mistakes
