The jets dont go in the solenoids. Dont ask on here for jet sizes. The wrong jet sizes could cause some serious trouble. If you ordered a new kit it'll tell you what jets to use. You may wanna start off smaller and work your way up. Unless they are hard to get too.

Start off with the smaller shot, make some small pulls with the N2O and read the plugs.

For a 100-150 I'd run 8-10degrees intial timing, 1 heat range lower plug gapped down to .035.

For a 175 you may need to pull a little more timing out, the spark plug is the best thing to read.

Start little and work your way up, humidity and weather conditions has a lot to do with the tune.

I can show you a video of what mine does if it hits the limiter if you want. Just backfires really..

Well the stock rev limiter pulls fuel from multiple cylinders, not a good thing when spraying...

Your asking for issues with melting plugs, puling the crown of the pistond and breaking rings. The MSD rev limiter is nice since it CUTS OFF SPARK in multiple cylinders which is much safer.

Factory is 6250 set the MSD for 6100
