i dont want to hear 350hp cuz i will have to call bs. lol
i mean consistantly sprayed without breaking (bending)anything.
thinking about 100hp on pump gas
i have sprayed 175 and cracked a cylinder not gunna do that again
im really just worried about the stock pistons(they are forged) and rods

100hp is fine just keep the timing within limits and there will be no problems

Ive sprayed 150 with no problems. I just run a bigger fuel jet than what it calls for just to be safe. Im using a Nitrous Express kit and purge.

Are you planning on running a wet kit or a dry kit. You will be much safer with a wet kit. A 100 shot will be cake with a good safe setup. Spray it all day!

100 Shot on a wet manifold plate kit. Completely stock bottom end a 93 GT so it also has the hyper pistons. I have a spare trans and 3000 rpm converter that is going to go in it and then I am gonna bump up to a 150.

125 shot for over 4 years when i started the car had 117,000 miles on it when i pulled the motor it had 142,000 and it still ran fine, that was also with 14 degrees base timming. Oh by the way the pic with the zex tune up chart is wrong, zex told me so.

to be safe ur susposed to retard the timing 2 degres for every 50 shot, so 100 shot would be 4 degrees retarded etc..
