I feel from my limited experience on my truck 75 was OK my truck didn't seem to like the 100 very much but I had some phantom issue going on around the same time so I never really use the hundred shot but like maybe three times. But mine is zex kit and I added a windows switch( which was a major pain in the ass) along with a fuel pressure switch.

The bottom end of the 4.7 is pretty stout The motor could possibly take a 200 but of course it comes down to cost you looking at $3500ish in parts that's if you can find the crank even though the stock crank isn't bad..... That's the thing about the 4.7 they are kind of expensive to build for what you really end up with but I still it's fun doing it.
oh I see...id like to hit it with the 100 shot just a few times.. being very safe!....but when I do do all of this ill for sure have the 110 in the stand alone fuel system and a good tune up...might even go with the 125 shot fuel jets and the 100 shot nitrous jets...but hey did you guys go with a colder plug? and if soooo whats the part # on that?..

My original 4.7 broke a rod, tore up 2 cylinders, cracked the girdle. Bought a ho short block had the heads ported, tighter valve springs and reused all the bolt on's. Mine should have 325+ hp to the wheels
Damnnn that's crazyyy!..sorry to hear that! how many hits did you have on it? and where did you pick up the short block at?

Went with the ho parts
Oh, I see! are you planning on hitting it with 125 shot?...I have now decided to wait and even though my motor only has 73,000 miles on it...im going to just rebuild it .20 over and go with the forged rods and pistons with 11.1 compression and have the cams reground to some 218s to make it really lope... then hit it with 175 shot of nitrous...who regrinds cams these days and whats a good pricing? and plan on mid 12s

Probably won't do a 125. It's bracket raced so it's deadly consistent so the nitrous rarely gets used.

oh I see!...so you just have the nitrous on there incase you mess up on the light?
Pretty much yeah, I won the kit for $25 in raffle tickets at the 07 DRTC national meet. It was originally on my 02 r/t that I sold a few years ago, then moved it over to my 4.7

It would take a lot to get in the 11's
I think it wont be hard if I can get it to hook...bored 20 over...11:1 pistons coat them myself, forged rods and pistons, crank should be fine because nick at airram said he has never even heard of a broken one...but add the ati super damper in there for some insurance...hand port the heads, arp head studs, arp main studs, arp secondary studs, mls head gaskets, with this combo I could spray up to a 200 shot, ill probably play it safe with a 150 and have multiple stages, 50 out of the hole, another 50 at 3,000, and another 50 at 4,500 or so?...or a 50 out of the hole, another 100 once I hit 30 miles an hour or so...nitrous express maximize 4 will be my friend hopefully lol:smile:

Well what you're saying is exactly what we were talking about. That's a lot that would be a fully built motor running a big shoot :wink:
