Default Would you spray this car?
Picking up a 1998 corvette just to cruise and play around with, and I have a ton of nitrous stuff in my garage just collecting dust. The car has 60K on it, completely stock, and is an A4. It seems to be in excellent condition. I would consider spraying a 75 or 100 shot dry, and I want to leave the rest of the car stock, except for some drag radials. Can I just throw a dry nozzle in front of the maf and be done, as in no tuning, no window switch, just an arming switch and a throttle switch (or button)?

I think you would be fine with the exception of a window switch....spraying through the shifts on 60K mile A4 could be trouble......

Thats why I planned to spray a very small shot, maybe even a 50 shot. I suppose a window switch wouldn't hurt though. Just figured I might as well use some of this stuff laying around the garage.
