Well im pickin up a good conditioned KA with 205K miles(yes that is 205,000miles) for 35 bucks. So I decided what the hell lets see what these bad boys can handle! Im gonna put in my 10.5:1 pistons in, 2 intake cams, removing secondary butterflies from intake manifold, an o yes heres the kicker 50 shot of n20, an gonna throw some falken azenis on. Befor you go an say why spend all that money.... Friend wants to throw the 50 shot on(its his) so thats free, an my other friend has some rotas wrapped in the falken azenis an said I could borrow em. So if I had an LSD that would really help alot. But well definatly end up havin to run some very high octane with the 50 shot. But if it blows it blows all in good fun. Hopefully the clutch holds. So once I get this underway Ill let you guys know what happens. Ill try an get it to the track asap!

LoL

On a serious note: I know a KA running 100 direct port NX, with 100+ Octane…with a few bolt-ons

The guy is on this 3rd bottle, no problems so far...

but sure start small...

My friend went 180 shot on his KA before it went kaboom. (it ran twice) I told him to stop at 120, but noooo, he wanted to beat that SS.

he actually ran on 100 shot for almost a year with a fuel pressure regulator and had no problems.

ive seen 75 shots on ka's with no problem, it all depends on how beat that motor really is, 205 is high, but if they were well kept up miles, that motor is still good. if it was beat to hell and oil changed every 15k, then it will go quickly :D
