Default Nitrous newbie

Whats up guys,

I have a '00 T/A A4 with 111,678 miles on it. It runs great, doesnt burn oil(if it does, I cant tell!) and doesn't make any wierd noises that would give any indication of being a worn out engine. Just wondering if it were wise to spray it... I was thinking a dry 100-shot. Maybe less becuase of miles?

I would only be spraying it occasionally. i.e. track days, and the occasional ricer that needs to be wrecked.

p.s. I have NGK TR55's.. Would I have to go to a step colder plug?

i have a 100k miles and am not hesitating to get back on the spray but i do have a lot of the safety stuff. i burn a quart every 2500 miles. engine seems healthy to me. on yours, you'll have to make the call because i don't think milage should be the deciding factor.

gonna need at least tr6's, window switch w/tps, some timing pulled, tune, a/f checked,

better to have a wideband, a/f lean shut off, injectors, racetronix kit, heater(or nano), tuning/logging software.
