Ive never ran Nitrous personally but i know alot of the guys around my way are running 100 shots on there pretty much stock cars. Ive seen one hit 11's with full exhaust gears and some stickys.

Id go no larger than a 100 shot.. And it your gonna do nitrous, do it right. Spray a wet shot, change your plugs to TR6s, always run 93 octane minimum, and get a tune with lower timing. Dont forget the digital window switch and TPS switch.

Ya. I already planned on all of those acutally. Just wasn't sure how big of a shot to go with.

I run a 100 shot on my 04 gt. You can go a little higher, but i wouldn't personally.

It is a total misconception that nitrous is more dangerous than a blower or turbo. Everything is based on how it's setup and tuned.

The tremendous torque that it generates can be more stressfull on componenets (clutch, trans, etc.) but it's no more dangerous to the motor if it's setup and tuned right.

A 100 shot can make some big numbers...i gained over 100 rwhp & 200 rwtq.

I've ran my setup for a year now with no issues at all, and i'm still on the stock clutch...lol.
