Off topic, please PM me back with your response.

I have the same parts lying around in the garage... how do you like it? Any significant gains or anything?

Any word would be appreciated, thanks.

Quote: I disagree. Everytime we install a wet kit, we either put it on the dyno or install a wideband. We typically either see a horsepower increase or a safety net that we can rely on.

Sure, you can use the chart and select the correct jets as a starting point, and we do that... and usually find that some fine tuning is in order, even as low as on a 75 shot.

A $275 wideband is far cheaper than a motor. Dropping fuel pressure, a clogged line, or too high of bottle pressure would all be caught by a wideband and a responsible driver.

Just my .02.

Dropping pressure will be seen with a fuel gauge, too high of bottle pressure will be seen with a nitrous gauge...

I had an air fuel gauge on my setup and it really seemed like overkill since I wasnt doing anything crazy. I agree with you that obviously an air fuel gauge can proove to be critical in most situations.....but in a situation like this, I dont think so.

Ive had numerous sub 11 sec cars, runnig zeitroniks wideband on each one. I know the importance of a wideband....but without some way of tuning the car like an AFC at the mere least, it proves a pointless and an unnecessary mod for this level of modification.

A wideband will warn of you of the symptom, not just the condition, which is why it is advantageous.

Does anyone know if I were to run 75-125 shot would I need bigger injectors or a new fuel pump?
