Default Adding NO2 to Zs really safe?

I was toying with the idea of adding some inexpensive power to the car. A 75 shot to the Z just to help with the more than frequent "riced" up Honda's and "muscled" up Stangs out there.

Something that truly would only get used for the occasional midnight stoplight runs and what not. Because, overall, I am happy with the Zs power.

But I have no idea how stout the Zs motor is and if it can safely handle such silliness?

Whatcha think? (I am searching the threads too, but some fresh opinions are welcomed)

it can be safe if done right, and not used too frequently or for too long at one time. check out the nitrous forums they have some good info there.

i believe the max youll want to run without serious mods to the engine is a 150shot but a 75 seems okay.

im running a 75 shot zex wet kit and its running fine. no problems for a few months now. i think i am going to keep the 75 shot since my Vortech S/C is coming in next week. ill have to tune it so that i dont run to rich while using the laughing gas.

I to just ordered a kit and did lots of homework. With 1 step colder plugs, a 100 shot or less seems to be safe, and with 2 step colder plugs 150 is OK. I would suggest sticking with 100 or less though most of the time.
