I spray 150 -200 on a wet kit but I have a built motor and trans with all supporting mods

if I were you I would start with 75 then move up to 100 and 125.

well i think that even though your block is stock, you should still have forged pistons. so id go ahead with a dry kit 100 shot. i mean your pistons would handle that. so im sure if your only wanting to go with 50, youd be just fine!

id go 100 and just leave it at that 50 is to small and 150 may be to much 100 would be perfect

50 shot is a nice safe place to start especially if you don't have the money or time to build a new engine. Nice pretty safe kick in the pants. You can feel a 50 shot. Refreshing to see someone not asking " Will it be safe with 150 shot", lol

i installed the 150 dry kit never ran it at the track , And not really into the dry kit , There is no tunablity. This is how it works, its all about bottle pressure the bottle needs to be pretty full and 85 degrees f . When you hit the n20 it goes to a n20 regulator then to you fuel pump regulator and slamms the fuel reg shut. If you get the nso kit that comes with a upgraded fuel pump( this runs in line with your stock fuel pump) it boosts fuel pressure to 80 psi pushing more fuel through the injectors. There is a T off the n2o reg that can be changed for fuel pressure tuning, and a jet for the n20 to select 50 , 75, 100, 150 hp shots. The wet kit is the way to go then you can really tune the fuel jet and n2o jet after the TB.

I got my kit unopened off Craigslist for $280. I will up grade to the wet kit before I really run the car. I did take it out and lay into it a few times. It was good I ran a 100 shot.
I would need a fuel reg and a dyno to tune for the n20 set up. although I tried the timing at 10* and the car was a dog , moved it to 14* and it was good , I know , I know 14 bad on n2o but there was no ping or knock at all. Most of all the temp outside was 65 with a full bottle which means it was starved for n20 and rich with fuel
My 2 cent n2o is cheap power and fun, But N/A is the best by far IMO
