I do a ton of GEN3 engine work. The weakest part of the LS1 motor is the pistons. You can definately run a 100 shot no problem. Make sure you change to the colder TR6 plugs and run good gas. If you bump to a 150 shot keep your ears open for possible detonation. Is the motor currently modified??
The LS1's like to break the ring lands off under hard detonation. Seen it a million times! If you really want to run a 150 shot you should get the car tuned with LS1 Edit and knock some timing out.
Are you looking at the direct port system?
