i was wondering what is safest shot to run on a stock ecotec motor. 75 shot to high. also what brand is everyone using . thanks
what mods do you have done to it?
i have dual flowmaster exhaust no resonator, still have stock cat on, intake , short shifter, and use autolite 103 copper plugs also full synthetic oil.
alright any step up i should go with or that works best
what kind of kit though. ive heard good things about nx express
I ran a compucar dry kit with about a 75 shot (#76 jet). It was a rental and I'm sure it was running lean as hell. If it was my car I wouldn't run more than a 50 shot dry, but I'd still spray a 75 wet. I did use three 10 pound bottles on the 75 dry shot though, lmao. Car still ran fine.
Best thing to do is to start with a small shot (say about 20hp) and check your plugs after each run. Then change the jets for the next shot and check plugs again. What you are doing is looking for signs of detonation. I suspect at about a 75hp dry shot, there will be a bit of detonation. I can't confirm this since I have no idea how much the stock ecotec fuel system can handle, you will need to look at your plugs to find out. With a wet kit (adding nitrous and fuel, not just nitrous like in a dry kit), you may be able to get away with a 75 shot without any problems.
If I were you, I'd pick a good wet kit, ZEX kits are usually easy to install. BTW, don't use Bosch Platinum series plugs with nitrous. Stock plugs will work fine. Let us know what you end up doing.
hey sorry i haven't posted in awhile been busy but thanks for the help. i decided rather than going the nos route to finish the bolt ons first. next mod will be a 4-2-1 header and high flow cat to open up there exhaust more. then im going to go with the rsm 62mm tb since the exhaust would be complete and allow everything to flow and work to a better potential. but thanks again ill try and post as more often lol
