I was wondering what a safe limit would be on my kf?
I know not many if anyone has a kf but im wanting some info....

whats best on a k series wet or dry shot?
whats a safe limit? although i know nothings completely safe

has anyone used n02 on a k8 and what size shot? wet/dry?

i am currently running slightly rich due to my ecu/maf combo but i will be testing this out on a dyno b4 final size is decided, just to make sure im not leaning out.

With most kits, you should be able to run a 50-75 shot without a problem. You'd still need to upgrade your fuel pump and regulator I believe to increase your fuel pressure.

From my experience, a wet N2O system is much more stable since it pre-mixes air/fuel/N2O. A dry shot runs the risk of leaning out the fuel too.

Once you start running a 100 shot or more, that's when you need to be careful. (progressive N2O timers and such). I know that some kits like ZEX and NEX offer a control module that regulates the N2O release and only at WOT. A little safer and more reliable for the average person who doesn't plan to be professionally drag racing (100 shot +).

My father in law has a Boss Hoss (small block chevy 350 on two wheels) and he's running a 150 shot. It's crazy to me but he has a tough time gripping the road. It's also a cast iron block whereas ours are aluminum.
