Default What's the worst that can go wrong with a 100hp shot?

I have been wanting to put a 100hp shot on my car just in case I run into a 03-04 cobra. What is the worst thing that can go wrong with a 100 hp shot? If I have a window switch and the other safty accesseries.

Well, nothing really...Unless a solenoid gets stuck open, and that is really bad news...

Anything can happen - blown engine, tranny, clutch, rear - anything. The trick to making it safe is to spend the time to get it right and keep it right - for instance, get your A/F dialed in, pull a little timing if you get knock, and make sure everything stays in line, for instance a fuel pressure gauge, a/f gauge, nitrous pressure gauge, etc. If everything stays in line, nothing bad will happen.

For me the worst thing would be if I lost to the Cobra

Seriously, I don't have NO2 installed yet either, but when I do the most important thing is to do the installation doing all of the above (previous post) using all of the safety devices along with new and proven equipment.

No used piece-meal parts thrown together just so I can have Nitrous.

If I can't afford to do it right, I'm not doing it. You pay later (bigtime) if you make a mistake with Nitrous.

Nice ride. A couple shots of nitrous out of that hood will probably make the Cobra dude rethink his position

Any way to prevent a solenoid from sticking open?

Use 2 solenoids.
