You JUST bought your Z and you're throwing nitrous on? What year is it?

I think you will be wasting your time and money with a 55 shot. You have a 6 cyclinder Z not a del sol, throw on a 100 shot and you will have a huge grin ear to ear

Why are you asking now, your buying nitrous tomorrow.....you should have researched prior to making your decision. Anyway....I've researched your question for many months and a 100 shot is perfectly safe on this car.....if done right. You need a wet shot, one step colder plugs, some type of window switch, and someone who knows what their doing. My 100 shot will be completed on wednesday, I will post pics and let you know the results. I've heard nothing but good fun with nitrous.......

+1 ...after my install I went out with a 35 and 55 shot to make sure everything was working properly - while I could feel the difference, it wasn't much...I'm running a 75 shot and would say anything less than that might not be worth the $. (I really want to run a 100 shot but am trying to be conservative b/c I don't have the extra $ in case anything goes wrong)

Just run a 75 shots after the install, only run 100 shot if you can get on a dyno to verify your a/f ratio is safe.

well it was a spur of the moment decison. the kid asked me if i wanted it so itold him yes, but i was going to just start out with the 55 first to see how it was, then move up.

but ive had nitrous on a previous car and yes it was fun

LOL! Sounds like me when I first purchased my 03 nearly 4 years ago. I installed my nitrous kit 3 months after purchasing the car because at the time there wasn't any real turbo kits available. I ran with both a 75 and 100 shot for years without any problems. Make sure you do some research on the subject and get the right equipment.
