I just got my universal wet kit and was wondering how big of a shot I could run safely?

As far as I know 85 is the biggest you should use on stock internals.

NitrovibeGT runs a 65 shot on here as well.

I do have forged pistons and rods. Should I upgrade injectors too?

I see you also have cams, what did that do for you?

youve got a wet kit. and pistons and rods. you should be able to do a 100 shot easy.(more with a progressive controller) get 2 stage colder plugs if you havent already.a wet shot handles the fuel. but a bigger fuel pump from http://www.monkeywrenchracing.com might be a wise investment, along with a wideband, and emanage to pull timing a little. last 2 not really neccessary but good to have. checkout http://www.newcelica.com f/i forum to see what those nitrous guys are running.im happy with my 50 shot.

He totaled the car and was parting it out so I got the cams and some other goodies. It really made a difference. With the cams, pistons and rods(.05mm bigger I think), ported and polished intake manifold, cold air intake and exhautst I dynoed 187.3hp and 170.1 ftlbs. to the wheels.

I got the cams and internals for $250. He gave me a good deal because I helped him out with some other stuff. He got the motor from some website that builds performance toyota motors. He lives down the street from me so when I get off work and school tonight I ll see if I can get a hold of him and get the link.
