I believe you are good up to 100 shot, thou I would only do a 75 to be on the safe side.

i have seen up to a 150 shot done but thats kinda pushing it. i have heard of a 75 shot without even a tune but i wouldnt do that either. i say get a 100 shot and a good tune and be happy

I ran a Nitrous Express 100 shot wet kit on my car for over 4 years with no problems whatsoever.

a full kit with EVERYTHING is ~700-800. wet is the only way and 125 is safe and powerful enough. the block can take gobs of HP the guts won't

+1 on what Rebel said. I agree with the rest, stick with a 100 shot (wet) and a good custom tune. Stay away from any canned tunes when dealing with spray.

I run a 100 shot, and wouldn't feel confident on going much higher.

Even if you have all the safety stuff and a great tune, the juice puts down a tremendous amount of torque, and that stresses things.

If you have a built and forged motor that's a different story.
