see.. that's what would worry me the most. you'd have to run a flip chip to switch between the nitrous ready and the non-nitrous tunes. what if you forget you're on the nitrous tune and you hit it and the bottle isn't open and ready to spray? seems a little risky. if you want that extra 40-50HP, get methanol. much cheaper to refill and you can get great numbers. also very cost effective.

I would say yes, at 8 PSI you should see 340-365 (non intercooled) at the wheels, and with a 50 shot you will get about 75hp gain which puts you over 420 at the wheels, which I consider to be treading lightly. However with a good tune and only occasional use you'll be fine, I dont' think going over a 50 shot would be safe.

It seems Methanol injection is the way to go, however you may just consider getting an intercooler. I personally like methanol injection and think its a great cost effective way to intercool, but with ebay intercoolers + piping kits around 500, you can intercool for the same price as meth injection. However, I'm no expert on pricing so if you can get a meth kit for cheaper then dont hold me to it.

I got a meth kit with my procharger. I sold it for like 200 complete stage 2 kit. So they arent going for too much.
