no you will be fine up to about a 100 shot, but please don't call nitrous NOS

Your typing dialect and your reference to nitrous as 'nos' makes me skeptical think of the fast and the furious. Youll be fine but you need to invest in a window switch and 1 degree colder plugs.

Honestly with a good tune you can do a 150 shot. regardless of a 50 shot or a 150 theres going to be accelerated engine wear, depending on how often you spray. Nitrous is not harmless in the long term.

Just on an opinionated matter, a 75 shot on a 4.6 isnt really worth it. Yes its fun and easy horsepower, but look at it this way. Say your making 250hp na, a 75 shot is a 30% increase in power. With the potential/inevitable damage associated with the sudden shock of nitrous on a powertrain, its not quite as worth it as say a 75 shot a focus or something with 120hp (62% increase).

Go big or go home is what im saying.
