I HAVE A 88 GT 5.0 WITH 160K MILES I THINK I MEAN THAT I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS REBUILT B4 I OWNED IT, THE OIL PSI RUNS AT LIKE 50PSI WHICH IS GOOD AND VAC IS AT 20 IT DONT SMOKE AND RUNS HARD, AT THE MOMENT I HAVE A 75HP SHOT OF SOME GOOD OLE n2o. I AM WONDERING IF I COULD RUN THE 100 SHOT AND IF THAT WOULD STRESS THE MOTOR TOO MUCH. MODS TO THE AIR INTAKE ARE TRICKFLOW UPPPER AND LOWER, 70MM BBK T/B AND EGR.

Like everyone else hears-

Turn off your caps lock.

You should be fine w/ a wet kit properly jetted. Have a bigger fuel pump for insurance?

its a dry kit ,, but the fuel system is stock

A dry kit is perfectly fine but like Jim said you should definitely upgrade your fuel pump. Upgrading your injectors/MAF would also be a good idea.

yeah put a 190 in....i sprayed a higher mile car relentless w/ 100 shot...ran flawless up til it got stolen

255 is overkill...but if you think you'll be needing it then what the heck.

IMO you might as well put a 255lph pump in the car since there it's only $10 more than a 190lph.

I put a 150 shot to my 195,000 mile LX and it went 12.55. I used a wet kit though. I went through at least 20 bottles before I went to a supercharger...on the same motor.

yea i was thinkin that i would need to upgrade. even with just the 75 shot it runs kinda lean. the kit i got is zex. i only used it once on the freeway for a few secs. i wanna upgrade the spark plugs b4 i really use it. i would rather have a blower but i got this system for hella cheap.
