Default I got nitrous , and want opinions

I got a good deal on a NOS kit for a 4.6 it has everything including window control that will spray only between 2500 and 5500 rpm. I am pretty much stock except for full 2.5 exhaust with h-pipe and gears.

Should I install IT???? I wont use it much and if I do I will install a 50-75 shot maximum. Is it that hazardous to my engine??? is it worth the risk of expense to install it ??

I hear people run zex kit with no problems for years but I do drive my car every day and I need it to be somewhat reliable. but also if some goof in a suburu pulls up and wants to give me a go id like to have the spray on my side.

Opinions suggestions please guys

idk about that range, might readjust. I normally go past 2500 on a daily basis driving normal. might bump it to 3500-4000 start.

I would say as long long as you install it right at a 50-75 shot you should be fine. nice pick up

If you aren't going to have the car tuned, then a 50-75 shot should be fine. If you have it tuned properly you can throw a 100-125 shot all day long.

I've been running a 100 shot for over a year now, and haven't had a single issue.

As far as installing it? Well... that depends on your abilities. It's pretty straightforward for someone that has a little mechanical ability.

I agree of geting an RPM window switch that way the nitrous can hit inbetween 3000-5500. If you really wana be bad *** about it you can hide the nitrous solenoids into the fender lol we did it on my buddys car and ran a line through the carpet and hid the bottle in the trunk. Its pretty sick.

My opinion...that small of a shot is a waste of time. Spray 100.

would 125shot w/o a tune be unsafe for the motor? what about 100shot?
