I have always thought that most of the horror stories are cos folks get greedy and switch the pills out for too much hp! I know that the 2v should take a 125hp shot ok. I would plan on only a 100hp shot.

Your best safety net is not to spray the **** out of the engine every stop light.... modest usage and good safety equipment and people have gone far.[/QUOTE]

The couple of time a month that I do get a chance to drive it, I do drive it hard off of most lights!
Could I do that with a intercooled centri? Or I guess it wouldn't be as harsh if it were only a 75hp shot but would I feel it enough I wonder? (75 would make the bottle last longer and be better for traction with the 4.10 gears)

dude if it is a street car then FI over nitrous any day of the week. If it is mostly a track car then definitely nitrous or both You also got to remember if you run a 125 shot or more you have to adjust your timing so when not using nitrous your car will have less stack so to speak during normal driving.

Been doing some reading on traffic laws here in virginia.
You can have a nitrous setup in the car but the plumbing must be disconnected!
Its a class 3 misdemeanor if u get caught with the bottle connected! Minimum fine of $500, max fine is $2000!
