125 wet shot max. 150 is asking for new rods.

NOS is not a "wet system", its a dry system.

Ill beat CobraRed to the Punch and still his line

it's called nitrous oxide or No2, stop watching fast and the furious

I wouldn't go over 125... Just make sure you have a good tune...

Nitrous Oxide is N2O, not NO2

yeah, thanks Winter, lol. But i think NOS sells a wet system for 96-04 tho, a 75-125 shot system.

good catch Geoff, i was thinking it was mostly oxygen since we use it as an oxidizer instead of a fuel, but all air is mostly Nitrogen - so yeah it's N2O or dinitrogen monoxide/dinitrogen oxide

Yep, most nitrous companies sell dry, wet, and direct port. I like NX because their jets are rated at the wheels, and they have great customer service.

Come on guys I think we all know its the floorboards falling off and the motor we need to worry aobut. LOL

Serious note: 100shot NX is safe, 125 is pushing it, and 150 is a time bomb

well how long do u want it to handle it for? a 100 shot would equal years of fun. 150 is over the limits but probably wont blow up immediately unless not tuned properly. I have sprayed a 200 shot once but would not recommend doing that much at all. I wont do it again until i build the motor.

but i would say about what everyone else is saying and just keep it under a 125 and u will be fine.

The NAWZZZ decal adds 5+ HP ..

I was running a 150 on a stock 97 GT with a tune and blew my upper intake to pieces, after 3 months. stay below a 125 at the most and youll be good just make sure someone knows how to tune your car !
