Its called nitrous, not NOS. NOS is a brand.

If you keep it under a 125 shot you will be fine. I ran a 100 shot for a while with no issues.

what he said

and dont hit the fuel cut and dont spray under 3k

if you go big with a dry kit, get a better fuel pump and 24 pound injectors

NOS is not just a brand it is a abbreviation for nitrous oxide system. With a 125 shot upgrade you fuel system and you should be fine

I ran a 125 shot, the only problem was one time I missed a shift and had a large backfire. That cost me a head gasket and later I found out I lifted a ringland. It was 100% my fault I am in no way saying n2o did it. I did not hook up my window switch as it was on order threw a local shop.

1st thing you should do is hook a window switch up WITH your kit. I was lucky for a long while and knew the risk that is why I orderd the switch just crappy timeing and my stupid fault. Using n2o correctly is totaly safe and one heeeelllllllllll of a ride.


n2o gives you a funny smile that takes a few days to take off after the first hit.

another fan of nitrous here. just make sure to go with colder plugs and lower timing, i run a 125 shot with no problems. as long as you dont use it all the time you wont put excessive wear on your engine.

have to factor in the cost of bottle refills as well. People either seem to really like nitrous or hate it. As for myself I hate it. I wouldent want to pay for a mod that you only have part of the time ( when the bottle is full ) and have to keep paying for it after its installed ( bottle refills )

Nitrous has it's place. I wouldn't get it unless you spend a lot of time at the strip. It is all but useless on the street unless you want to kill yourself and others. If you want power that is "always on", get a blower.

Man, you dont know how many stupid people think N20 is flamable from that movie. I always gotta tell them how i held a lighter infront of the bottle and it blew the flame out!
