Possible. You never know. If he knew how to safley use it, you would never know. If unsafe, oil pressure would be low and car would feel kinda wore out. oils leaks ect.

I put my purple box on the driver side fender well, ran the steel lines behind the motor on the firewall and over the fender to the box, and under the CAI to the elbow on the under side. You almost cant even see it if not for the bright purple box on the side. Bottle in the trunk where the jack used to go.

Anyway, looks good.

I have heard from other posts you can call up comp cams (zex) and order the larger brass inserts for the bigger shots. I think someone said the solenoids can push 190 but i've never called about it yet.

All i know is that strait from Zex....... 175 is the max you can spray on those small solenoids without creating an imbalance in fuel and nitrous pressure. If it gets imbalanced, the solenoids will not activate. You can buy the Zex race kit which includes bigger solenoids up to a 25 shot. Thats what I'll do next.

Gapless but it was only the middle ring that was gapless on the pistons.

The best part about my nitrous was when i had the dyno tune and my tuner asked what shot I had after reviewing my numbers; i told him a 175 shot and he said no thats more like a 200shot. I bet my cam had alot to do with it.
