    i would NOT spray any stock engine in a maverick or almost any car for that matter

    Forged pistons is a must for spray

    Welcome aboard.

    BTW, you do not need a fuel injection system to run a small shot of dope. (I assume by "injection system" you mean a "wet kit"?).

    I wouldn't hesitate to throw a 50 shot at it (wet or dry kit - setup correctly). It gives you a reason to upgrade if you disintegrate the pistons. :yup:

    Good luck.

    Welcome to the board, C'mon Eddie, I agree with Rick except that I would put a 100 shot on there and have fun until it went and start over.

    I ran 125 & 150 shots with my cast piston engine for about 12 or 13 years. Don't get greedy and use a good nitrous controller and you'll be ok. Like they say, "It's all in the tune".
