I believe this is with a wet kit, dry kits seem like bad news.

Just my .02, I am no expert!

There was a guy on here that ran a 75 shot when he was bone stock. Worked fine. Some people dial in the timing & A/F ratios for the engine using aftermarket EMS, advancing the timing & AF curves giving them better hp across the board, but can only run 50 shots (i.e. had 180 whp stock, with intake, hi-flow cat, EMS, cat back exhaust they have 200+ whp, then add a 50 shot of nitrous but are running at 200+ whp regularly). Haven't seen anyone with tuned EMS that ran the 70-75 shot yet.
