Default Is NOS for everybody?

Ok guys I've got a few questions about NOS. First I wanna know how "safe" it is for your car. I have a 03 GT with only 35K miles. This is my daily driver and I don't want to be replacing my engine before I break it in. Also is it really hard to set up to use? Its not like every race I have is completely planned out and staged. 90% of the time its when someone passes me reving up the engine down the hwy. I can't exactly tell him to pull over and let me open my bottle. Another question is do I use "wet" or "dry"? Whats the difference? Uh....I guess thats it for now. Thanks for the help!

If you do your reasearch, set things up correctly, and know how to properly use it, then Nitrous is very safe to use. Zex makes a great nitrous kit, check them out.

I've been looking at the Venom V500. It comes with a 10oz bottle that could be hidden very easily. It also has a computer control module.......what the heck is this? 10oz...how many "shots" is that per bottle? Also how much does it cost to fill a bottle?

Dont get that hidden kit crap. Who do you really have to hide your n20 from? And almost every n20 makes a kit that includes a bottle warmer, remote bottle opener, purge and a bunch of other crap. I STRONGLY suggest getting it professionally installed unless you really know what you're doin. It wont cost that much to have a professional install it, and it will be quite a bit safer....


Just my $0.02

And dont refer to it as NOS. NOS is a company that makes NITROUS OXIDE. If you call it "NOS" you are gonna sound like a ricer tool that has been the fast and furious one too many times....

NOS is actually illegal to use unless on a track. But shh, if I ever got pulled over with N20, I would just say that I had it for track use.

It's legal in some places. I'm pretty sure its legal here, but I live in a small hick town. And if you are getting inspected or whatever, you can just take the bottle off...

NO2 then. Do the kits come with the solenoid? Sorry guys I've never used nitrous before, actually never even thought of it. I've always been told that "bottles are for babies", but the more I think about it the better it seems. How often can you spray?
