You could run up to around a 50 dry shot shot of "nitrous." Don't say NOS, it makes you sound like you live a quarter mile at a time. You would want to pick up some colder spark plugs, NGK has some good copper plugs for nitrous. Your also gonna want to retard your timing. About two degrees every 50 shot you run. There are other things you could do if you were to run a little bigger shot, but if your only looking at a 50 shot, you should be fine with those simple upgrades.

Get a compression test done (or do it yourself if you can) prior to this purchase. If you have good numbers accross all four, then you could run a 50 shot easy with colder plugs and premium fuel. I think with solid compression numbers and 93 octane you could run a 75 shot.

NOS is the brand I own that is why I said nos instead of nitrous.

hilarious poohboi. Sorry for not using correct terminology but I would still like to have some answers to the question I asked which is close to the same one you asked a little while ago.
