to squeeze or not to squeeze that is the question.

im thinking about getting a 50 or 75 shot. one of ulis buddies is selling a wet kit for cheap and would cut me a deal. so i dont know if i should do it. its a venom kit that operates in a given rpm range with a 10lb bottle. i know people say its cheating and whatever, but i dont care, turbos arent cheating and neither are superchargers. the interesting thing about this kit is that there is no button, strictly rpm based. so i will have ma4444444D VT3C y0!

so do you guys think its a worthy expendature? or should i just save my pennies for a pretty little snail?

for the non locals to the site, i drive a civic with a single overhead cam vtec stock for the most part

I don't know about this. I think you could handle a 75 shot for a while, but maybe you should go with a 50 shot. I don't like nitrous oxide because it's not reliable, not because it's "cheating".

yea im not having trouble deciding on the sizes. i would run a 50shot for the majority of the time and put in the 75 for track days.

my real question is whether i should do it or not. i know sometimes its not reliable, but thats only if one were to over do what the car can handle. my stock block is good for 75 especially since its a wet shot. if it were a dry shot i would raise an eyebrow. the system im getting is know for its reliability and monitors the a/f ratio and adjusts the fuel levels accordingly.(helpful in not running rich as the bottle empties).

i just dont know if i should go for it or just save for a turbo.

Go for it. I wouldn't worry about making a lot of power on your current motor. You'll probably want to switch your setup down the line.

yea. there is no way i could stay.... n/a. with my motor, that would be..... ghey. rhyming, sorry.

but yea i dont know if ill be doing another swap any time soon. mpg are my friend and a proper turbo d series is good for 180-220whp on a stock block. food for thought. i might just get the kit, use it for a little, get my giggles, then trade it for a turbo setup or at least part of one.

Good plan. Nitrous is very reliable if you do it right. Just don't do anything stupid!

o i know

that 100shot nozzle is staying in its case

Good plan. Don't forget to upload some pics! Go to E-town and see what you can do with the nitrous.
