This has probably been talked about before, if so, please steer me in the right direction. I am looking to NOS a 2008 GT, any one have suggestions, experience or input? Appreciated. Stock motor except for Steeda CAI and tune. Not looking to go crazy, I seen some Systems and it seems like up to 150HP punch is ok on stock motor. I know a supercharger is "always on" but limited on budget, instead of $5000 or so for supercharger, it looks like I can get a complete NOS for about $900.

I would NOT go 150 on a stock motor lol. Unless it's a dual stage, then you better be damn safe with your tune. I run a 100 shot from my Edelbrock wet kit and to be honest, I'm probably gonna back it down to 75 just to preserve the motor/tranny. I'd stick to 75-125 (at MOST) for the stock motor in your car. I'm sure with a super conservative tune and some race gas you could go bigger, but if you drive the car alot, I'd just stick with that range.

I was looking at...

The ZEX Kit, one in particular that states safe and efficient on stock engine applications, some are dual stage, active fuel control, etc seem to be on the average up to 150HP. I agree, I would say the 75-100HP range would be a good kick in the pants. Any input on difference between wet and dry? Thanks.

If you're looking at 100+ shot, you have no choice but to go with a wet kit. What ZEX kit are you looking at?
