Default safe?

so would you guys think that it would be safe if i wanted to up my zex kit to 75shot or 65 shot on my stock motor just the normals done to it exhaust headers intake, and i would retard my timing accordingly, anything else you might suggest me doing?

Get colder plugs.

As long as your fuel system is up to par, you should be fine. Oh yeah, this is a wet kit that you're using, right...?

Do some searching; there is a ton of info on this topic.


P.S. What are you doing with that extra header?

I would change the entire fuel system just for good measures.

I was riding in my friends integra with a 75 shot when the fuel pump studdered. It picked up a bunch of power, but was soon in pieces.
