you should be good with a 100shot as long as you are smart with it and also get a tune to turn some of the timing down make sure that you run 93 in the tank. nitrous express plate system is a very nice clean set up

You can run a 100 shot with out a tune. People on here have run 125 shot with no tune and have been fine. You will need 93 like tempoffroad said. There is a ton on nitrous system and people will argue whats better. I got Dynotune and its awesome. Its cheaper than the other companies and i run good times.

Personally I like the Zex kit I had it in a Civic before the Mustang and never had any problems. I will be getting on efor the Stang first thing in the spring just because I feel it is the "safest" kit out there

Ive only heard good things about nitrous express from my friends, and if i spray thats the way ill be going. From what ive read up to a 100 shot you are pretty safe with just 93 in the tank. Over that you need to start running colder plugs, turning the timing down, better ignition systme blah blah blah
but would definatly consider running a window switch so you dont activate it to low

runa 100 shot like everyone else said if you want to be crazy you could do 150 with colder plugs and all that fun stuff but i think youll be pushing the stock engine to the limits and more then that. i spray 100 now. im going to build my engine up and spay something crazy like a 400 shot after its built

Personally, I think your car will run a 100 shot fine but, w/ a tune. I think that is the only way to go IMHO. Tune and some of the safety features. People have run more but, I think you start running into a gray area. BTW, plan on upgrading your clutch for the extra tq for sure.

Im running a zex wet kit with a 125 shot. I have a stock fuel pump and stock timing and stock spark plugs. I run 91 octane (because thats all we have in Cali) and I havent had any problems. Ive ran numerous bottles through it and havent had issues. I hear no knocking or pinging while im spraying. My fuel pressure safety switch hasnt made any hiccups but I think im pretty close to maxing it out. 150 shot I would upgrade the fuel pump and probably tune it. You need to take out some timing and go with a slightly colder plug. And yes you can run a 125 shot with out a tune, just be smart about what you are doing and make sure everything is right. There alot of people that will tell you cant do it (most of them never even ran nitrous before) but its possible. Nitrous Bob is a pretty good guy to ask questions if you need help.
