just picking a n20 psi can blow your car up. only spray it at the mfg's reccomended pressure. usually closer to 900 or 950psi

I dont think you will spray the 100 shot too many times, its hard to resist bumpin it up. I got 125XXX miles sprayin 125 shot and it hasnt hurt anything yet. But oh well if it does I got a job

You said it, your friends don't know what they are talking about, if you have a WOT swtich, window switch and such you will be fine.

I allways thought you could spray at and above 2,000RPM at wide open throttle?

If you wanted to be really safe on top of the plugs you could get the RACETRONIX fuel pump kit and be safe up to a 150 shot.

Im going to spray a 275-300 shot out of the hole this year, granted thats not a stock engine/tranny or fuel system hahaha.

Tell your friends you cna blow a motor up just as easy being N/A, turbo, or blower, going lean is what blows engines...........

Nitrous will definitley expose any weakness in a motor, or any part of the drivetrain. Just start small and work your way up.

I would say don't spray below 3k, get some plugs, and be careful if you've got something like 4.10's, because I can see your rear end going real fast. Have fun. I miss the spray.

I listened to everyone about the not spraying below 3 grand, and after 5500.
I have an A4, and when I am at WOT and punching it..

I tried spraying right after the shift into 2nd.. DAM worked great..
Then again right after shift to 3rd...

I did not see or feel any problems, but I am guessing this will put the stress on my motor and tranny that I might now want..

But I did successfully spray below the 3 grand and did not blow anything up.
But it is also looking like I have a built 4l60e tranny... It does not have the factory stuff on it,,, it looks all up to date...

But I now have a nice pinion seal seaping thru...
Its not a leak yet, but its starting to seap.
But I have read that this is common even without racing the hell out of them.

Look and see what the manufature says not to spray below (RPM).

Just because your tranny has aftermarket stuff on the outside does not mean its aftermarket stuff on the insire of could be just a factory rebuild.

I am soooo sick of people saying my motor is going to blow! These ******* are trying to jinx me. Not only do i hear about 5 times a week at work but i hear it every once in a while at home from my dad. No of them know **** about cars and they act like they do. The guys at work think the ls1 is some damn 350 from the 70's!

Sorry for the rant its just getting annoying.

I have a 4K verter in my A4, I have my WS set at 3700 rpm. Prolly 15 - 20 bottles of N20 thru the 102,000 miled motor and she still running strong. As long as you know your A/F is at a safe range, you will be fine.

I have to deal with the "yer gonna blow it up" crap daily. It's like that christmas movie with the BB gun "you'll shoot your eye out". I have been to the track and have made 14 1/8 mile passes and 11 1/4 mile passes with my car this summer. I haven't proven my freinds right yet. Spray away my friend.
