RE: Nitrous
i'm still unsure about putting my baby on the bottle. i've been reading that it's safe to run like a 50 wet shot without a tune, 125 with a tune on a stock motor. i'm assuming it won't give me any problems now, but what about long term? is my engine going to start choking at like 50,000 miles? i have about 7500 miles on my car now. i want a nice boost of juice, but i'm not going to do it if it's going to kill my engine.

You need a tune.
Nitrous is no different than any other form of FI
For it to not break stuff, it has to be tuned properly.

RE: Nitrous
My personal opinion from research...
1. Stock 03 GT should get no more then a 150ish shot if you are brave. 100 if you wanna be safe or a 50 if you really want to be safe.
2. Even if you get a 25 shot, go with a flip chip tuned.
3. Ensure you have a WOT switch.
I plan to follow my own advice with a 100 shot and a SCT flip chip (4 position) tuned by the installer. Hopefully sooner then later, but still have not gotten it yet.
Good luck,
Ceyko

Can have a great tune when on and off the juice!
It's what I currently use.
SCT's Flip chip.
