Question To Spray or Not to Spray?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I was curious.......

What is everyone's opinion on using nitrous? Would a 30 shot be ok for a stock block and turbo? Or is it better to use it as an intercooler sprayer? Or what about combining nitro and meth?

50 shot is like a 100 shot on a turbo car. I would stick with 30 shot on the WRX stock block.

Not many people running juice through their Subies. I did some basic research on it awhile back, so I might be able to give you some general info. Id say a good place to start would be a 30-35 wet shot. On a stock turbo/block WRX it should give a nice power gain. From there you can work your way up to a 50 shot. Beyond that and reliability might be questionable. Im not sure if youll need to upgrade the fuel system at all.

Search the various Suby forums or even ask a tuner like SS what he thinks. Im sure he could recommend a setup and even tune it for you.

i was just curious cause my friend used to run a 30 shot on his stock turbo set up and was able to run 12.4 with supporting mods....utec..tbe..etc. i don't know that i would want to spray directly considering i might just go with meth. i just wanted to know if it was safe and what you guys thought overall about spraying.
