anything above a 100 shot it is recomended that you get a tune...theres my feedback

EDIT: dollar for dollar you really cannot beat it...u get 80 rwhp for like 600 bucks...or like 110 rwhp for several thousand dollars with an S/C

then again id take a S/C over NOS anyday of the week

Definately worth it!! I saw 80 hp to the rear tires with a 100 wet shot and it is very cheap and easy to install compared to all other methods. My torque numbers also went through the roof!!

I was also looking into nitrous. I'm thinking a 75 wet shot for now. How much will this damage my engine over time (i have 40k miles right now)? I won't be spraying that much... maybe a couple times a month. Down the road I would eventually upgrade internals, so they will be refreshed eventually.

defnitely if you got the money. theres an adapter somewhere where you can use your stock 4.6 intake manifold on it so it will fit under the hood. i guy on here actually put a 5.4 in his npi gt and worked fine.


o o can u say cammer....mmmm
