For those that are spraying above those miles :rolleyes: what type of repairs , tuning, and etc do you guys do.

http://www.lmperformance.com/c/9/13.html <<<web site what parts do I need from there to help me out on the safety precautions. I know the window switch and etc. Do I need anything else from the ne web site as well

sorry to change the subject but i do not like adding a new thread. Anybody above 50,000 miles had any problems.

I'm spraying with 60k

Stock engine
NGK TR6 plugs
Taylor Spiro 8mm wires
New stock Coil packs
FPSS
WOT switch
Walbro 255 in tank
New fuel Filter
This is on an 85 Dry shot

Will be stepping up to 100+
I have HPtuners and 36# injectors that will help with the 100+ shot!

Nitrous WILL find the weak point in your engine. As long as you monitor your A/F and fuel pressure for a dry shot you should be able to avoid any issues as long as the car is maintained!

I am spraying a 75 wet shot on a car that has 96k. I changed the plugs, wires, and fuel filter but other than that it is stock. I do have a WOT switch and FPSS as well.

Once I get a walbro fuel pump I will up it to 100 shot

just using all the safety precautions and keeping your engine tuned will help a great deal...however...the sudden added torque from spraying will tax your tranny and diffy...i've gone through 2 tranny mounts this year...so i finally added a poly tranny mount...and when i first started spraying i chewed up my factory 3.08 gears so i went with a set of yukon gears...which are supposed to be stronger than GM...but i cant totally say that the gears went from the juice...it depends how high a shot you're talkin...a tranny mount, LCAs, and a panhard rod would do you good if you're thinking of spraying a 100 shot in addition to the things Nachius mentioned...my car's being done up right now for a 125 shot...monitoring is KEY [img]smile.gif[/img]

94,000+ miles on junk yard engine
Tuning is the key

Full tune ups all the time

Just upped to 125 shot recently

[Question]

If the engine is well taken care of, oil changes as scheduled, routine mantinence, that sorta thing. Mileage shouldnt really matter. Aslong as the engine is babied it should be fine.

I sprayed on the mark of 50K and 60K just so I could say I was spraying for each, kind of like a celebration party!

I had a 255 in tank pump, WOT switch, TR6's, and that's it. I changed the plugs about once a month when actively spraying just for grins and so I could watch each cylinder's activity, and catch anything before it got too be a big problem.
