I don't think too many have NOS. But a lot use ZEX.

I had it previously on my TL. I went back and forth from 75 and 100 shot. No problems with it and it was an easy install. By the way, it was a Zex Dry kit.

No problems? Serious? Are you able to shift from first to third at optimal bottle pressure? Wow, that's amazing if you can do that with your 100 shot. YOu must be pullin sub 13.2s on the 1/4. Must have the golden tranny.

I never ran it at the track. No tranny problems by the way. I'm getting a new mod which should have a little more power than the nitrous kit gave me though. Maybe I'm just lucky. 13.2? I'm not sure about that in a TL-P model car.

OH, P, ok, makes sense. Sorry, thought you had a S.

Fill us in, what's the new mod you're talking about?

Yup, been running a 100 shot direct port for over 2 years. I have only squeezed thought probably around 30 times.

i have always had it in my head that Nitrous was horrible for engines unless they are built for it... is it true that a 50 or 75 dry shot wont cause any problems? i am sure the dealership wouldnt be to happy about you having it installed.

well they say wet system is safest... it is debateable though to a certain extent. for up to 75 shot people say you can go dry, but above 75 you should go wet and upgrade your fuel pump to the walboro one.

the safest i suppose would be a direct port, but also the most $$. 75 shot on the cls is more than enough IMO

I used to run this setup. I never had any problems with the supercharger and the nitrous together. It should be fine. I guess pooling is a possible drawback of wet systems, and that running lean is a possiblity with dry systems. But with the comptech supplied fuel pump, you'll be fine.
