I'm gonna be installing a nitrous oxide systems dry set-up into my civic this weekend. All i have are the basic bolt-ons, a cold air intake, 4-2-1 header, and cat-back exhaust. I'm gonna try running a 50 shot, do you think my engine will hold out? Or should i maybe only run a 35 shot? Let me know what you guys think.

I raced a guy with a body kit, 17" wheels, and a 50 shot. He said his fastest run was a 15.5. Not bad...

the car seems to take it really well. I dont use it too much though because I have a broken valve cover bolt. so occasionally there is a little oil leakage from that. It helps tremendously on the take off though. It actually gives the civic some torque. I want to use the nitrous all the time but it gets too expensive at $50a refill h:
