Question Will My Engine Handle 125 Shot???

Will My Engine Handle 125 Shot???
I Havnt Sprayed The 75 Yet And Was Wondering If Yall Think My Engine Would Handle The 125 Shot

It Has 149thousand On It Runs Alright Dosnt Smoke Or Anything Sounds Good I Have A Slight Idle Problem And O2 Sensors Read Lean Sometime But I Think Sensors Are F--ked

So What Yall Think Should I Try The 75 Shot First Then See About The 125
Also How Long U Think My Engine Will Last If I Use It Say Once A Week One 10lb Bottle A Month?

Zex System Is Changeable Right If I wanted To Put On Another Car?

I would be a little nervous with that mileage...at least with th e1125 shot. Turn the timing back, two degree cooler p lugs, and bump the fuel pressure. I woul drun the 75 shot and see how the plugs look. Run the 100 shot, check the plugs and listend for detonation. Then it's your call. I ran the 125 shot on my can, same year, 3Ok, I have head work done and a few other things..and the car leaned out on the dyno. I had to get a chip burned to run the 125 safely. Zex swears if you have basic bolt ons, you can run the 125 shot with no problem. As you can see, I never hit it on the street, installed and right to the dyno. Anyone else?? Yes you can put it on other cars, just go to zex and make sure you have the right jetting for that make/model car. Good luck.

I dont know about Zex but with my NOS system it has a fuel inhancement
moduale. Also detects fuel presure if drops below a given point shuts off the nos. Best thing you can do is read the plugs and do it right.
Run it, shut down right after no idleing and read em. If right a
light tan, and read them all, not all intakes are perfect, you could have several good ones and one lean one and that will be your burnt piston. I run 125 shot on my Y2K with 40thou and it runs good, a full 2 second drop at the track 13.25 @ 107 juiced and 15.1 @ 93 without.
Good luck,hope this helps, and again READ THE PLUGS!

I have 140000 on my 89 GT, and I was squezing 125 shot wet (nitrous express kit), with my bigger 24lb injectors and my motor was fine, backed the timing down and ran two degress colder on the plugs, i only had the kit on for a few months but i went through about 1 bottle a week causing trouble on the street with no harm to the motor.

I agree with billy spray it! It' s a 5.0, and I put at least 40 bottles through one of billy's current rides and the worst thing was head gaskets, but start small and work your way up.
Good Luck!

I bet the Cavy doesn't handle it without popping like you said. Just a guess.
