1. Post forced induction inquiries in the correct forum
2. Search before you post
3. There are several kits available (Venom, Zex, etc)
Lastly, its a common beliefe to only put a shot on that is equal to half the current power of your engine, or less. So a 200hp car should be able to handle a 100 shot max, although 75 would be safer. Not to mention you should also do a compression check in each of your chambers, and for shots under 50, generally you don't have to play with timing, but for 75 and up, it is suggested you retard your timing. You also should be running specific plugs with a smaller gap. uhmm...Window switch, WOT switch...plus the kit itself. Nice accessories would be remote bottle opener, and bottle warmer.

To clarify, half of your rated max HP when STOCK.. NOT half of yor CURRENT horsepower.
That would be an endless cycle..
Yes! That is correct! I got ahead of myself when typing....thanks for the clarification Ray.

if you wated to retard timing for a 50 and 75 shot whould would it be??
Like ray said, its in the FI forum.
IIRC ...its like 2* for 75 shot, 4* for a 100 shot. (or 2* for a 50, 4* for a 75) Be sure to check it out before taking my numbers as a fact. I am not sure which it is. VERIFY IT!!!

Run a 75 shot, Use a wet kit. Get a purge kit and a bottle warmer.
Run NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .34 iirc.
