Default Does it ever stop with nitrous?

I bought my nitrous kit with the intentions of keeping my car on a 100 shot. Well the 100 shot lasted 2 whole days, then the 125 went in. And a couple months later I just put in the 150's today. One of my friends started off with a 75 shot a year or 2 ago, and now he just finished mini-tubing his car, spent who knows how much on suspension, and is going to put in a 402 or 408 on a 400+ shot. I just hope the 150 shot is enough for me for awhile, and that my motor can handle it fine (heads/cam LT1).

I started with a 75 shot, 2 hours later I had the 200 Jets in. Now I want to add a 50 dry on top of it. We will see what stock internals think of that.

spray what you can!!!

I'm working on dialing in my 200 jets...........as soon as that's finished I should be good for a while. But to be honest, I'm still working on dialing the 150's.

It never ends or stops man first it's 75, then maybe i should try 100 then hey lets get 125 a shot then 150? and so on we all want a little more it's the nature of the beast and I think it applies to anything in life... but we are very much like drug dealers I get all the time "come on man just a little bigger pill please!" haha

I'm also finding that N20 is very addictive.

I should try a 15 shot in my Kawi. The bike is already twice as fast in accelerating than my TA but WTH. Nevermind, I rather sell the bike and put a 150 shot on the TA. Then a 200 and so on.

Nitrous and boost are both very similiar in that it's very easy to increase power.
It's inevitable, you turn up the wick until the motor lets go.

Being new to nitrous I put in a 75 shot to start with. It felt cool...like someone was behind me pushing me. A week later I upped it to 125...Such a completely different feeling from a 75. Felt like a punter kicked me in the *** and didnt stop. I already want to go bigger. Lucky for me, the 125 jet is the largest one I have and I would need to upgrade my fuel before going bigger. I guarantee I would toss in a bigger shot if I could.

All that with just a little dry shot.
