With the way the economy is right now....no. I think i'm happy enough with my car as it handles nicely, has good power, and looks good enough for me. A turbo is way too big of an investment right now and I want to keep this car as my daily which is one of the main reasons i got it in auto, and then in a couple years I want to get a nice stick weekend car. However I am considering maybe adding a 100 shot of nitrous with a tune next summer

I'm acutally convinced that I'm going to go the nitrous route but before I do I have a couple uncertainties. Now that our HR engine is stronger than the DE I don't think i'll have a problem with a 125 shot(rwhp). However I do not want to run nitrous until i can run 1-step colder plugs which as far as I know are not avaliable. Also idk what to do about engine management. If i just got a reflash woudl that mess up my NA tune? I don't want to get a standalone and as far as I know there aren't any avaliable. What do you guys recomend in order to run a very safe nitrous setup on our HR motor. BTW i am planning on running Dynotune. Thx

i would not go with the 125 shot if you read in the nitrous forum area a guy was running the 75 shot safe with no problems. when he upped it to 100 i believe his clutch started to slip and give out on him. i thought technosquare made a reflash that would work with a nitrous kit??

A.H. you seem like a smart guy and like me whatever you do you want to make sure it doesn't hurt the car and take all the precautionary measures...so in saying that i would run the plugs regardless of if some people arent. i would think it would mess with your torque converter...afterall nitrous is an all at once kind of thing not like boost then comes on slower and has a smoother power curve

I thought technosquare did too. The thing is though, if I can't run a 100 shot SAFTLY, I won't run nitrous. I have an auto so I wouldn't have a clutch issue but do you think with a 100 shot would ruin my torque converter? BTW are one step colder plugs not a huge deal? Cna i do nitrous without them? I only ask because everywhere in teh nitrous forum it says they are a necessity?

I don't even know how or when to change my spark plugs. I have close to 22K miles on my car. I've been wanting to re-gap the plugs. I dont want to mess anything up.

Yea i have the gtm valvebody and i love it. It's great that it also helps in nitrous. So I guess i could actually start off with a 75 shot and wait for plugs to be avaliable before i up to 100 but my main concern is engine management. I called tefchnosquaer and tadashi said eh won't touch my car with nitrous and he completly does nto recomend it. I am afraid to mess up my car becaseu i do have advanced timing wiht my reflash. I am all about the safety of my engine and I won't go through with nitrous until I am 100% sure I won't messa nythign up. So could I run a 50 or 75 shot basically bolt on without changing anythign eslse or what type of setup do you gusy recommend.
