The majority of the "blows" with less than a 150 shot are usually the intake blows off. Not a big deal.

Man I had a 125 shot on my wife's 2001 Mustang GT A4 and she used it all the time. Its very fun and anything should swallow a 75-100 shot with no problems at all.

I can see why the OP is not a fan of N20. Its power in a bottle, your car isnt that fast all the time, only when the "magic" bottle is in it. NO doubt it gets the job done, its just not there ALL the time. The gains are ridiculous when you do spray though.

Sometimes it's the Mustangs that aren't worried.

In regards to the bottle...some people just can't afford to take the risk of blowing something.

well, theres always a risk, weather it be heads/cam, Supercharger, turbo, or N20. its all in the tune, and driving habits. lots of performance mods will put your engine at risk. I say, you only live once, try it all. like i said, i can take you for a ride in an N20 car with heads/cam. And im sure a supercharged guy would give you a ride as well. and if you do spray...always have an extra bottle for those blower guys haha just ribbin you guys.

I know there's always a risk....I just like my chances with a blower. At least those aren't dependant on a micro switch not failing, etc. I can have the tuner set a particular A/F and timing and not worry too much, but with a bottle, you can tune it right, but every time you hit a switch there are still a few things that can go wrong, beyond control. With S/C you don't really have that. IMO, FI is just safer (well, with a matched safe tune).

IDT you quite understand what I'm saying. You have electrical switches than can/do fail and lead to major issues. It's nto about n00b, or pro install. It's about electrical switches that stick open when they should shut. You dont' have that with a blower.

let me know when, I would wanna go in a n02 car and see what its like, I have been in a SC car(gt500) and it was bad *** because of the fact that with a couple $100 he got like 580 to the wheels(pulley tune, ect) I'll see what I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna save like 2-3k and make a choice. I'm kinda lean'n toward H/C tho.
