nice, i would love to run one but i don't want to take the chance at blowing something up because it is a royal bitch to fix my engine (note that you have to take the whole engine out to rebuild it.)

you wouldn't risk blowing something unless you over do it. meaning running to high of a shot on a stock (or any motor). Just because you run nitrous doesn't mean you need a big shot. hell, just start with a 35 shot or something. work to a 50. Don't go crazy with it and you wont need a rebuild haha. Me personally tho, i'd never run a dry shot.

Hey I hear you big time....I used to run N20 in my drag bikes and learned how to run it safe...I am running it WAY safe in my B18 motor....As long as I keep the motor retarded a few degree`s,run high octane fuel(100 octane),I am running rich on the fuel too with the adj. fuel pressure regulator........I should be able to run a 50 to 75hp shot without problems....I would REALLY feel safe with a wet kit myself.....But I would have to tap off the fuel gauge adapter on the fuel filter to get my fuel....And then regulate it down to 10 to 15 psi, from there before it gets to the solenoid.....

I knew a guy in Orlando that had the same engine and car (ford focus saleen n2o edition) with a 75 shot from factory, could keep up with stock srt 4 neons until a piece of a valve broke off and shot out the back. Took him more than 3 months to replace one valve, i'd rather go with straight meth kit

Hey I hear ya brother....
There`s always a problem with something happening with what ever you go with...
Big motor= stress on internals,rods,valve train,ect.ect
Turbo = high rshared_pm valve train breakage,oil starvation,lean condition
Nitrous = already discussed.........
