Does anyone have a NOS plate, wet system for carbs? Just wanted to know what you guys thought of them. Thanks!

I have run them for years.... I like the 125 (Power shot) system because you see a good gain from it, the bottle will last a good 10 runs or more, and it is next to impossable to mess up your motor (if you have a 350) with it. I have run it on a bunch of cast piston 350's and never ever had one failure. I have put big shot silinoids on it, run it with the fuel silinoid disconected, don't have to mess with getting colder plugs or retarding the timing and no matter what I always get between a .7 to 1.0 second gain in the 1/8 mile. This is a great system for a beginer or someone that just wants a little extra boost and doesn't want to have to change there tune up to get it.
Now the Super Power shot system is a little different because it is an adjustable system from 50 - 175. Which is ok if you want to mess with changing the hp level for best performance.

Okay, this is a very general question but please bare with me, how do you set up your motor for it? Colder plugs, as in stock AC Delco stuff or? and just how much do you retard your timing? I will have no computer stuff if that makes a differnce. BTW: this will be on a 305 for this summer unless I get unlazy. Are there bigger risks of blowing the think ski high then? Thanks!!

NOS systems are jetted very conservatively around 20% richer than what you need for max power, so you're very save with a powershot system without doing anything really.
Just don't use it when your engine is heatsoaked, and don't use it up into overdrive. And always use premium fuel when you're spraying to be safer.
have fun
