    i wouldnt worry about the 4500 converter as much as the gearing. here is the issue that MIGHT happen. montecarloss went from 112mph to 123 mph on a 150 shot through his 4500 CD converter on 4.30 gears. you are playing with the same converter, but 4.88 gears and you're already trapping anywhere between 115 to 118 N/A. you're definately pushing the limits. not that it will hurt anything but there could be a chance of running out of gear. oh and his converter hit HARD on the 150 shot out of the hole. too bad it broke his rear end when he did it lol.

    he has plenty of rpm to play with up till a true 150 shot. Then at that point you just put a larger tire on the setup. Skeets 4500 converter on a 150 shot should ramp him up around 4800 on the launch

    dunno if they make them that small but thats what it says on the jets lmao yeah i know its just a little shot BUT its the point i dont wanna get kicked off the track right now until its fully tuned and ready for the 150 shot, i basically wanna see how the truck reacts on each step of the nitrous, not many do this thus is probably why they have issues or there engines fail.

    i wouldnt bother with the 50 shot honestly, idk i used to have a 50 shot and i barely even noticed, but i bet you'll run 11.0 on a 100 shot maybe even faster, good luck and def. get vid when you get on that 200 shot but even thats too small for you i heard a 200 shot is being used on 5.3's

    we decided not to with the 50, feel the same way, not worth it, going straight to the 100, hopefully we'll see a good pass, i'd say make a few NA runs but HRP gets so damn packed we're gonna hit it with a 100 shot right out the hole ...

    which is why i wasnt talking about running out of gear on any other shot
