Serious question for nitrous users
I would like to know how many members are spraying or have sprayed 100 shot (WET). I have been spraying a 75 wet shot on my 96 5sp SE for sometime now (over 20 bottles). I have not run into any problems, I want to start spraying a 100 shot and have heard many different opinions on this. I would like to know from you guys which are spraying 100 what you think. What kind of problems if any did you run into? Do I need to do anything before I bump up the shot? Here is a list of my performance mods:
PR CAI
Stillen Y-PIPE
Random Tech CAT
Stillen Cat back exhaust
Walbro fuel pump
ACT NM1-HDMM clutch
Aero Fuel pressure regulator
Nitrous gauge
EGT gauge
Fuel Pressure gauge (Fuel pressure @ 42psi)

I'm running street tires at the track. I can't get any better then 2.4 60ft time. 125 shot on stock internal is not a problem. Tranny is what most people worry about.

I had my tranny replaced already last year. It's holding up pretty good now. I recently started using the drag radials (225/50/15) on my stock rims and they make a huge difference. I use to run on my Sumitomo (225/40/18) and traction was S%$T!!! My best times with the 18's were 14.2, I have recently dropped to a 13.9 @98mph. I know I can get it a bit lower, but next week I will be dropping in the 100 shot jets and run on 103 octane. I want to see what she pulls on the track. Want to go soon the weather has been nice down here.

SINGLE FOGGER?. You are the first I have heard of running the NOS Wet system.
You have all the stuff you need to move up to a 100. That is one heck of a kick though. You should have no problems with your setup.
I have run the 125 and the 150 on my single nozzle wet NX System but not for long periods.
This year I plan on running at least the 125 and will probably try the 150 at the track. However, I am going to run a separate fuel system for the nitrous and C16 so that will help a lot with any pre-igniton. I am also installing the S-AFC II, Wide Band O2 Sensor and a data logger so I will be keeping a close eye on whats happening and hopefully making adjustments as necessary.
You are going to have fun with a manual trans though, you should really have the maximizer so you can control the shot. Sounds like you really have traction problems though, I only ran a 75 shot for one run and it pulled a 13.6. Maybe you should think about slicks if you are really serious. My drag radials just didn't cut it either.

I appreciate everyone's input. I feel much more confident now on spraying 100. I have plans in next coming month to install an S-AFC. When I installed the Nitrous, I hade my car dyno tuned. The tech at the shop suggested I get one. I will drop in the 100 jets and get the car dyno'd again, want to check my air/fuel. I might even wait until I install the S-AFC. I looked in the maximizer, have to save up some $$$$$.

Off the subject but curious as to the name 'PBeach'. By chance could that be P'cola Beach?

Good thing you mentioned it JAIME. I am using the ZEX Hyperformance Nitrous spark plugs. I wasn't sure which ones to go with. What do you guys suggest?

I agree 100%. Traction is very hard to come by sometimes even with full slicks. The kick of 125+ wet is a pretty good one. Trannies don't like the jolt, especially autos. I noticed you didn't mention plugs. You should be 2 steps colder if you are going 100+ shot. The S-AFC is a big help too once tuned in.

NGK V-groove BKR6E-11 Stock number 2756 -> 1 step colder
NGK V-groove BKR7E-11 Stock number 1283 -> 2 step colder
Order by the stock number...that's what most auto parts store use as part number. Nobody use the BKR except for NGK themself.
