That's a huge waste of money! Put that cash in a CD or money market savings account.

Swapped EF Civic with B16 or B18 can be bought in crappy condition for around $1500..I had B16A2 back in my Honda years that I abused with 75 wet shot with no problems so 100 shot may reduce overall life span but it will be fun while it lasts

+1 on saving money and investing into a money market account

For 1500 bucks you can strap the bottle to my back and I'll run really fast for you.

I started the setup in my 1.6 Lanos with a 35 wet shot. Pretty cool, but not quite right. After upping it to 50, it was feeling a lot better and was still quite safe. I could push it to 75, but that would cause issues, as I've already seen one Lanos motor go at 75 dry shot.
i ran a 100 shot on a saturn every day for months and it ran fine with it but it took out the engine when i bumped it up to a 125 shot lol the rods are good for 250whp and i guess i passed the limit. i got some awesome pics of it
