No it wont hurt your engine or anything like that if you use a reasonable shot (ie 100-125 at the most). And if you run a 125 shot i would recomend you tune it just to be on the safe side. A good kit is the NX wet system. I am actually looking at this and plan on purchasing it within the next week. The difference between wet and dry is if the nitrous mixes with the gas when its being injected. I don't know a hole lot about it but someone else could help answer that question. I am going to set mine up for a 100 shot, which would probobly suit you well too. My car is a daily driver also but its not like im gonna have the button pressed all the time. Good luck

You can run about a 100 shot safely, i would stick with like a 75 though. A wet system sprays some fuel with the nitrous so you dont run into a lean condition and mess your engine up, its a lil added safety.

They are both right. I run a 100 shot untuned. one thing you will need to do though is get colder plugs because they can get too hot and cause knocking.

With my wet kit I simply tapped into my shraeder valve and it works awesome.

A 125 shot would be the most I would recommned for stock internals. Wet and dry kits will perform the same. A Wet kit is a little harder to install because you have to tap fuel lines. With the wet kit, the extra fuel is implimented durring the N20 application so larger injectors arent a necessity. A Dry kit will perform just the same except the injectors are responsible for adding the extra fuel. Id rather go with a Dry kit. Its a little safer (dont have to worry about cutting fuel lines, dont have to worry about fuel puddling casing a N20 "hicup"), and if you use a reasonable shot, your injectors should be more than able to handle the extra power. The biggset thing with N20 is the tune. You could get away without a tune for a while, but all it takes is 1 hicup to ruin things in a hurry. Would you run a Supercharger without a tune? Tuneless applications are what has given N20 such a bad name. Using N20 untuned will eventually have an adverse effect on engine components. Your timing must be changed, colder plugs must be ran, and once again a dual tune setup is IMO essential. Im going with a Zex 125 dry shot with a Flip Chip dual tune setup from SCT.
