Anyone have N.O.S. wet TPI system? 5151

I know this system is only designed for 150HP max. This speed shop told me that it can be pushed up to 175 max. It would require 82 Nitrous jet and 65 for fuel. Instead of 70 Nitrous jet and 53 fuel.
How far have you pushed it? What would be stopping me from making it a 200HP shot?

Thanks!

I have this system, but I have never jetted it above 150HP. I think you should be ok for 175HP. And i believe the only restriction would be in the Super Powershot Solenoids. You would probably have to upgrade to the Cheaters, or whatever the next level is.

One of my friends did exactly what you're talking about. He had to upgrade to the Cheater solenoids. The smaller ones wouldn't flow evenly thru the larger jets. The Cheater solenoids are also good for a 250 shot, so if you want to go above 175, you just need to change jets. I'd be careful above 175, though. If your pistons aren't forged they won't hold up for long.

Does anyone know if you can buy just the plate from this kit? I want to convert to the plate from the fogger nozzle I am using now.I think it may be worth a few more ponies.

Thanks,
Aaron
