My motor still has the same compression test as a stock. I only have 53,000
on it. I put the unit on with about 12,000. I don't know how long a motor
with 140k would last before blowing the rings. Even with the ECU the
injectors are at 100%. When we were testing we found out that they were
delivering as much fuel as they possibly could. The wet sytem works very
well. Don't go over the 50 shot because the intake is designed for air only
and the fuel will puddle and lean some cylinders. With Nitrous you don't want
to be greedy. The 50 shot will feel like 100 on the 1.6. Even from a roll it
will smoke the tires in first and second.
