Tapping foggers into the intake runners?
I wouldn't feel the need for fuel upgrades. A "wet" shot supplies extra fuel when needed. You'll have all the pressure you need with an SE pump.
Retard the ignition a little if you want. But a 75hp shot isn't to hard core.
Not much of a procedure.
Just buy a good fogger kit. and pretend you're installing it on a civic. If your motor is in good shape it'll hold up just fine.

A well set up 75 wet shot, on a motor in good shape should be safe and last a long time.

Will it handle a wet 250HP shot a couple times?

Now look into your crystal ball and tell me exactly how long I'll live if I keep smoking two packs a day.
Will I make 60? yes or no?

So, the SE will only be half of an SE.
I'm not sure how much I would sell it for yet, if that is the decision. If I do, I will be posting detailed pictures of it's condition.

No, I'm kidding.
My SE's life, will likely continue in someone else's possesion.

If you go to U-Pick U-Pull in Sun Valley (5 Fwy @ tuxford exit), there is a GSL-SE that has a stock manifold with straight pipe (no cat). I left it alone as I have no use for it. I only took the oil pan and the igniters.

I've been running a 75 shot on my 83 GSL from day number 7 of ownership. The rotary seems to LOVE the juice, if properly modded to handle the demands it will hold up to it with no issues. On a more or less stock car, I'd say run no more than 75.
Speaking of mods. I just got my turbo and manifold in today. Anyone interested in purchasing a NX wet kit? [devilish laugh]

Lol - photos will do you no good. I've got the car ripped down to nothing right now installing turbo bits.
Here's the setup though. The bottle is mounted in the back with the valve pointing to the front of the car right between both passenger and driver. The braided line runs under the carpet down the passengers side and through an existing hole in the firewall to the N20 solenoid. I have a T fitting on the secondary fuel line (because you shouldnt spray until your secondaries are open anyway) that runs to my fuel solenoid.
Fuel solenoid is mounted to the firewall right behind the intake hat. The purge and N20 solenoids are mounted to the passngers side fenderwell.
The rest of it is simply wiring and switches. I have a WOT switch that activates the solenoids only when the arming switch is on, and a momentary purge switch that purges the line as long as you hold the button down... It's really quite simple. It took me less than 4 hours to do a QUALITY install on it.
I'm running a 75 shot now, but I suspect I could pound 100 through her with no problems.

ive been looking into a 75 shot, just for fun. But its eiter NO, a rebuild, or fixing the exterior damage so i think im going to run it with NO till it blows, (its at 171,000 already) then rebuild and start over.

I tested the 75 shot at the track on my 10th day of owning the car. 75 is most definetly fun... and adds QUITE a bit of power.
For comparisons sake, I ran TWO nitrous runs and two no nitrous runs at the track back to back. With only headers, my times were 17.3 and 17.5 unassisted... Then I ran two with only the 75 shot, I ran a 15.7 in the quarter both times. Not bad. Almost 2 seconds off my overall time!
