Buy a safe kit, like ZEX and run a shot no more than half your rated HP.

Q: What is better, a "wet" or "dry" kit?
A: It all depends on the application. A "wet" kit is ideal for both normally aspirated applications as well as forced induction applications. It can require a little bit more installation time than a "dry" kit, but is easier to tune if greater than stock HP settings are to be experimented with. A "dry" kit is excellent for normally aspirated combinations that have a return style fuel system. They are very easy to install and are a great "first time" nitrous system. It is not recommended that "dry" systems be used on forced induction engines.

In other words...dry. Nitrous is risky mainly because it's not used properly. ie RPM range, overlooked safety accessories. Turboing an natrually aspirated car w/ some off-the-shelf kit, with some a rigged fuel setup is just as dangerous as nitrous. Either one can go at anytime.

yea either one would be good. no2 is caustic especially with alluminum so its going to eat your motor from the inside out. 6thgen def knows what he talking about though. im pretty sure hes running nitrous on his car. no2 goes so quick though it really is a shame. i wish there were a way to have a system onboard that actually makes no2 and stores it in your tank.

yea the plugs thing is a good idea, also, if you want to fire off a thick ass nitrous blast, your going to want to upgrade your whole sparking setup, possibly to a multi sparking unit.
