thinking about nos on my '02 GT

[MBGT02]

i have a 02 gt with 48,000 miles.. 4.10 Gears, JLT ram air intake, Pypes o/r x pipe and cat back, SCT custom tune, and new FRPP improved intake manifold.. Will i be safe with say a 75 shot? This is my daily driver i dont wanna do anything stupid and blow it up or something dumb just to go a bit faster. Please give me some input!

In general, a 75-shot of N2O -- nitrous oxide ("nos" is a brand name...) -- will be safe as long as you don't have any existing fuel system (pressure or volume) problems.

You might want to think about putting one-range-colder plugs in the car. As well, be careful with your "custom" SCT tune. Tunes for N/A engines typically add a bunch of timing. You actually want to think about taking a degree or two out of a stock tune when shooting N2O (or boosting for that matter) so taking a degree or two out with the SCT tune that's in there now may still leave you dangerously advanced.

Lots of folks have gone with the 100hp kit, I'd think with the above advice, the 75 would be safe.

there is no known fuel problems with the car, so i guess ill check it and make sure though. So with the tune, do i just tell the people who tune my car that im putting a 75 shot on it and they give me a new tune? Bama Custom Tuning sends me mine.

They should definitely know all mods on the car. From a tuning perspective, N2O and forced induction are the most important mods to know about.
