I'm looking to get a shot in the future Zex has a good kit. For use on a stock motor you should be safe up to 75hp shot and it works with wide open throttle. You can get wet or dry kit.

Zex 75 wet. Super simple install, no re-tune required, hell, you don't even need to back off the timing.

100 shot is safe, but pushing it. You will need to back the timing off two degrees. Still no re-tune REQUIRED, although it could not hurt.

125 shot is about the limit, timing needs to go back four degrees, and a re-tune could not hurt... you'll break sooner or later at a 125 shot... probably sooner instead of later.

Do not pay someone to install the Zex kit, it really couldn't get any simpler, I did it in about four hours, from start to finish. It's got a WOT switch so you will less likely screw up and spray nitrous when not at WOT... just watch your RPMs, I push the pedal to the floor to spray between 3000 and 5200 RPM or so. And you will not need a retune with a 75 or 100 shot. New spark plugs couldn't hurt, I'm using the stockers with my 75 shot though, I don't spray often.

I always heard dry was easier to install, but you can only run 50 hp I think so the wet is better. I would like to have that 75hp.

Wet is also a safer way to go as it adds a fuel nozzle with the nitrous nozzle. I have a NX kit on a different vehicle and it was a very easy install and I have been very pleased with the kit for almost a year now. Just my .02

your car can handle up to a 150 shot completely stock. anything above that and you'll be walking (right code3gt? ).
