Biggest dry shot sprayed in a 305?
I have a 305 tpi, my mods are below.
On Sunday, I sprayed a 145 dry shot with a Zex dry kit.
BTW, I have 24 LT1 injectors, so I have not maxxed my injectors yet.
I have a buddy with a '92 Mustang LX that sprayed a 150hp as well.
What is the biggest dry shot anyone has sprayed in a fuel injected engine?

This won't apply to you but a friend sprayed a .078 jet dry through the MAF on his LT1 car. He did this bottle after bottle after bottle and the car never complained.

It was an NOS Pro Race solenoid with 6an line running to it, it had about a 3in metal direct port style bend coming out of the bottom to the fitting with the .078 jet. We drilled out the jet to a .092 later but never got to use it because he traded the car off. The car did a 12.6 on this setup with street tires and a turbo 350.

It sounds like a wet kit to me.
Did it have a nozzle in the intake tube and ONLY spray nitrous?

Yes it was a dry kit. He was spraying the nitrous ONLY through the MAF sensor. It didn't run like yours with the bypass line to the FPR it relied solely on the temprature of the nitrous to add additional fuel via the MAF. He had a set of LS2 injectors from a 06 GTO in it and an MSD 6 box, that was pretty much it for his mods. He sprayed it on 91 octane and probably ran out 6 10 pound bottles of nitrous. The car was a glory grenade that refused to go off it was amazing.
P.S. The kit was a rig together made out of a direct port system, the solenoid would've flowed up to a .120 jet and with the extremely short hard line the kit hit extremely hard.

i wasn't trying to make this a bad tread. sorry. dry shots are fine as long as you use a a/f mesurement device and correct the lean mixture using other means. i've used them before and i just believe it is easier and cheaper to go wet if you going over 100 or so. lack of knowlage? don't be so harsh

Just as a note, a .078 jet is a 230hp shot.

Tell him to get a big solenoid and go up to an 82 jet, if that doesn't do it go up to a 98 jet that should do the trick and be fun while doing it.

The biggest dry shot was a 145 shot.
When my tranny wouldn't shift into 3rd, I was spraying a 125. That's when she blew.
