Default N20 line pressure...

No guessing here fellas, my life might depend on it...What is the max line pressure you have ever sprayed at? I like it around 1000 to 1100 lbs, but might wanna step it up a little hotter. My bottle has a 3000 lb pop-off, so it will hold quite a bit...Any INTELLIGENT input will be appreciated (no nawwzzzzz please, I don't need that ****) I'll run any hybrid or swap for nawwzzz pride

What kind of kit. regardless, 1100 is pushing it; there is not reason to run any more than that, period.

At 1000 you should be seeing your full shot, so why go to higher pressure for nothing?

950-1000psi works best. Any higher and you'll ruin your solenoids.

*This isn't like turbo, where when you increase the PRESSURE and it'll add more HP*

ZEX is setup for 850-900 psi line pressure.

For 175 shot, what jets are you using, and how the hell is you FPR gonna survive????

mat the gas and it feels like somebody kicked you in the chest
My D16Z6 does that on ZEX.

I'm thinking its a 46 or 48 N2O pill, and like a 40 fuel pill...Maybe the N2O pill is bigger than that, I'll have to look and get back to you...Yeah, the SOHC motors really shine when you put a little squeeze on em I'm running mine on slicks for the 1st time this weekend, real curious to see what happens...

40 fuel = LEAN CITY MELTDOWN.

28 fuel is a little rich for mine, maybe like a 32...

Even if he's running Crower internals? Sorry I'd really like to know this for future purposes. I'm seriously thinking of trying n2o again. My previous experience wasn't so nice.

not calling you a liar, but 175 shot on a b16 is highly unlikely.

Could a 175 shot be possible if he's using a wet manifold set-up?

I am using a #28 fuel jet for a 100 shot so you are going to need something smaller than that.
Could a 175 shot be possible if he's using a wet manifold set-up?
Anything is possible, but for how long...I dont know.
I would say sleeve the block, get forged pistons and rods, aftermarket valves and ARP head studs and you might be alright.
