Nitrous on the way

Wll, I finally made the decision and am ordering a NX kit. I hope to hjave it in the car by july 10th if all goes to plan. Any idea on what shot I shold run? I have a 2.2. I was thinking at least a 50 shot, maybe a 75? Well, I will be glad to see how my quarter mile times drop. Oh and I have to add, that without F0de's help I would have never have thought of trying this.

Very nice. How much was the kit. Been toying with the idea of trying nitrous on my hatch one day.

I dropped 1.1 seconds off of my best 1/4 mile ET with a 55-shot.

Do you already have any 1/4 mile ETs?

I would imagine you can hit the low- to mid-15s with a 50-shot.

You should be in the high 14s if you have 5 spd and decent track skills.

Tight, I am running the 75 on mine and it's lovely. I wish they would drop the price of refilling the tank though!!!

With a 50-shot? I've not seen the 2.2/2.3 with a 50-shot get below 15.0.

If he can do it, more power to him!

Go for the 75 shot, my 2.3 handles it just fine.

No way you go faster than 15's with just a 75 shot. I barely crept under the 15 sec mark with a 75 shot and every single bolt on and then some.

Oh and it cost me $25.00 to fill a 10lbs. bottle in Miami.
