Nos question

Ok I'm looking into getting Nos for my lx auto but what is the best setup for it(looking for a 50 shot)?
I have Injen cold air intake for my car is there a way I can have the nos going with the cold air intake one of my firends said that would be a safer way?

Well you can only be so safe with any nitrous setup. Keeping it at a 50 shot is definatly a good thing to do. Beyond that please use the search function, nitrous has been talked about to death on this board and there are a couple good kits out there that can be used with our cars. The kit I'm planning on going with is the Nitrous Express GenX II kit with all the bells and whistles, but do a search and READ READ READ, make sure you understand what your getting into or else you'll blow something up.

It dosent sound like you know enough about nitrous to be using it. Do ALOT me research before you even consider getting it.

Ok, did we just fall into the fast and furious movie set or something? Not to flame but unless your referring to the brand specific NOS systems, learn your terminology. Its Nitrous not NOS. Also i would think that you should know enough about it before you actually got it and it seems your just getting it because you think its going to make your car king of the road. In all honesty nitrous systems on our cars unless isntalled tuned and used extremely carefully barely do anything to benefit our engines. Perhaps working your way toward nitrous would be better. Do research and find otu the best parts and modifications for you and the way you drive your car. For some people and port and polish is more beneficial then the power gained from a nitrous system. For others, the sobering reality that our cars dont quite live up to teh expectations we had at first, just get what they think "makes" teh car rather then makes it faster. Just my ten cents....

Please listen to what everyone else is saying, and do plenty of research before considering putting nitrous on your car. There's a huge post about nitrous that's very informative. I believe it's in the tech section. Also, check company's websites about nitrous and see what they have to say. There's plenty of info out there, but definitely learn all you can before doing this. Otherwise, you will get greedy with this mod and blow up your engine or wear it down very fast. If you do go with a nitrous setup, I wouldn't do anymore than a 50 shot if you're planning on keeping your car for awhile.
