Default Thoughts on 125 shot?

Well I just got the 125 shot jets in today and installed them. Did 2 quick pulls on the highway and didn't hear anything wrong(well the car is too loud to tell). Plan on throwing it on the dyno to see what the A/F is.

For those of you guys with nitrous(namely 125+ shots) and still on the stock block, what are your overall opinions on the safety of spraying a 125 on a stock motor? Car seemed to react fine to the 100 shot previously and now the 125, but I really can't afford this thing to blow up anytime soon.

I don't really spray much. Perhaps 2 times a week but this is my DD lol.

well i know there are a few people who spray 150 shots on their stock motor gts and are fine. i have thought about sprayin a 150 befor but im going to get it tuned for it. i think as long as ur a/f is good then the motor should be able to handle it. ur probly only makin somewhere around 370rwhp which is still in the safe zone for our cars.

With a good tune, a really good tune (MPH) I don't really see a problem with it. I don't know a ton about nitrous though.
How much power were you making with the 100 shot?

i run a NX 100 shot and that is rated to the wheels. i only make 360rwhp. u could easily run a zex 100 shot and be perfectly fine. the only fuel work u will need is a new fuel pump if it is a wet kit. id still get it tuned tho

yea im going to get a new fuel pump and get it tuned...but its a dry shot so i dont know if that would make a diff in wheather or not the motor can handle it or not...but what i dont understand is how the tuner that i use doesnt think that it will handle it and i know hes a good tuner cuz he tunes cobras...just recently tuned my friends cobra so i dont know what to do...any opinons?

I saw a stock GT (catback/K&N) plus a 125 shot blow a hole about the size of your head in his intake manifold last weekend, but that was on a diablo tuner (generic "nitrous' tune).
