To spray or not to spray

The biggest problem with spray is, it is addictive. You start with a 100 hp shot. Then go to a 150, then 200, etc. It is so easy to go quicker, you will wind up hurting the motor, if you don't restrain yourself. I have a fogger system on my 170 cid slant six. Up to 150 hp (which is like 388 hp on a 440, hp per cube) had no problems. Ran over 400 lbs through the engine, before a rebuild. Tried more compression, bigger cam, and 175 hp jets, and ate 3 pistons on the 5th pass. I should have cut back on the nitrous, untill I got the new combo tuned in.
