I was just curious to know how well it will hold up to a 100 shot wet kit. Are timing adjusters needed or are handheld programmers the way to go? Just some random questions! If i break it i go pi setup ! Thanks for any info

Honestly I'd do the PI swap first if you have the money. You'll have the power all the time and won't have to have a bottle filled. Then if that's not enought power, then add the nitrous.

Especially because the compression will increase = benefit to nitrous

Depends on how well the motor has been maintained. If the kit is setup properly then I am sure it'll hold up for quite some time aslong as you don't crazy with it.

It's always nice to have a backup plan too

I agree with these guys...Do a Pi swap first...then you can always spray it and actually be considered "fast"
