Well i am working on installing nos 5175 for the summer and want to run the max 120 jet. I am running at 5200 ft elevation and could really use the extra power. My motor is internally stock and the fuel system is stock however i have done most of the other mods like msd, fp gauge, etc. Now, if i consistently ran the 120 shot could i cause internal damage over say a 3 year period? Would any fuel mods be necessary for safety/performance? Thank You!

I think it will blow pretty soon. no way it will hold for 3 years lol.... -
Personally on a 3.4 I wouldn't chance it.
To consistently run a 120 dry I had the following fuel upgrades:
Custom computer reprogrammed (richened fuel mixture)
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator (higher psi)
Kenne bell boost a pump
Stay with 75 and see how it goes.
Then if you need more then go for 100.
If you are worried then get a wet kit or convert dry to wet.
Fuel pump is not neccesary but is a good safety mod.

I ran a 100 shot on a dry system on my 3.4L engine but she was/is far from stock. I have a Nu-Tek engine, 19# injectors, walbro in-tank fuel pump, holley afpr, fp gauge and custom program. also get NGK-tr6 spark plugs. a 120 shot(dry) is not a good idea on a 3.4L engine.Sebring Silver 2000 Camaro SS <br />Currently working on a 409ci ironblock LS1 setup.Comment

what about on a 3.8? Would it survive?
Is it better to shot a wet 120 than a dry 120?Andy Adamez<br />--------------------<br />3.8L 97 V6<br />Hurst Shifter w/ Home Made Handle, Hypertech 160 Thermo, Ported MAF, 5 Point Harness for Pass & Driver, Painted Valve Covers, Nitrous Express Wet EFI KitComment

Dry a waste of time???
I guess my 12 second timeslips were a waste?
Honestly under 100 dry is fine.
Once you start going higher then wet is suggested.Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

At 120 hp I think your motor will take three years.
It just matters how many bottles you use over those three years.
If you have ALL the safety equipment you will be fine.Comment
