Give the guy a little break. He is liek I was when I first got here wanting fast answers.

N.O.S. can be safe if you dont abuse it however to really feel it you will have to get abusive with it. i had a 74 shoot and it was cool but nothing like a f/I set up. Also the power is not always there unless you are spraying of course. I sold it and now goign F/I since i wanted constant power and of course better gains. Nitrous will give you a good push but i wouldnt go more than a 75-100 shoot unless you build internals which at that point you better off going F/I.

if this is all your budget permits though then at least get a NX pressure gauge, A/F gauge, remote opener, and a maximizer. But I suggest if money is not problem than consider F/I.

NItrous is fun though I liked it. ENJOY!

I have no idea why it posted twice I swear!

By the way consider definitely a wet kit with a wide open throttle set up!

Actually a lot of people are running 125 shot on stock motors. It's not at all bad for you motor as long as you use the right precaustions.

Plugs is a must. Other things include A/F... It all depends how much you want to run. Anything more than 125 shot you will need some kind of EMU and perhaps some stonger internials.

Sorry if my post was very noob, but thanks for the info, it really helped alot. So basically if i do a 70shot, i would get that much boost until i use up everything? and sorry for being a noob, never really looked into N.O.S.

Look man a 70 shot on a 3.5L V-6 is weak sauce you will barely feel it. But start with a 75 shot, and then imo do a minimum of 100 shot. To do it right get a wideband a/f guage to monitor under spray, and spray it on a dyno to verify a/'f's. For a wety kit search "fuel tap" to look into buying an SPT fuel tap to make your wet kit install a breeze. Once your all set enjoy the bottle....

N.O.S is safe 100 or 125 shot as long as your tune is on. The safest way to run it is with a full throttle switch. Some people like even a window switch which can let you run the n.o.s between the rpm band and cut off right before you shift. Hope that helps a little.

Bro im 17 years old , i started with a 65 shot on a stock z and it was like nothing , my honda was still faster. so i got one step colder plugs and slapped on the hundred shot and was satisfied. you will have a mid 12 sec car with a good driver and little mods if you do this.

First off i dont really think you need a tune because my car ran like a champ and i never had it tuned and i was on the hundred shot and sprayed the **** out of it. I would get bored driving home and would spray, so do what you want but i dont think you need a tune untill yourun anything higher than 125 shot,
My opinion

My opinion

You don't need a tune. The factory ecu will dump fuel and make it rich. But if you want to get the max out of your combo a tune is the right thing to do. Because you can tune the rpm band. If you notice alot of dyno graphs show your peak power at the verrry top. With a good dyno tune you can add the timing and fuel where you need it. Also you take away the extra fuel where you don't need it. What i have noticed on dynotune's you hit your peak power at a way lower rpm and it allows you to carry it longer. So you have a longer pull in the peak power band.

I hope you were on street tires when you ran that 12.9... I know a guy on here running 12.9s all day with bolt ons and a reflash (on slicks). You're running a 100 shot and you're getting 12.9s?? I hope it's a traction issue.

Nitrous can be a cheap and safe solution for HP but there are a few things I suggest installing with the kit, first is a window switch what a window switch does it only allows the nitrous to spray in the RPM ranges you want it sprayed at this keeps you from hitting the rev limiter while still spraying nitrous, also I would suggest getting custom tuning done this will provide a safer setup and also provide you with more power. You can also add accessory such as a bottle warmer, bottle opener, and gauges to the setup.

i bet you those bolt on's cost a lot more then the nitrous kit. the reflash on its own is almost enough to cover the cost of a basic efi kit. adding in the cost of the other over priced bolt-on's, im sure your way over what any good nitrous system would cost you.

however 12.9's is a bit slow for a 65 shot. im getting consistant 12.6's wit a 75 shot on slicks.
