Probably not the best idea, just gonna throw that out there. Dry shots should work well, but you could risk blowing your block or the cams or something. I don't think it is worth it on a stock NA system, go for a turbo or get some more bolt ons as you can really really really screw up your engine with Nos.

Do it! Runs great on my car. 65 shot baby! All I have is an axleback exhaust and a lightweight crank pulley. I want to buy a header and of course a new intake. You should be fine. I did A LOT of research on this before I proceeded to buying this kit and I have no regrets. The power and reliability is in YOUR hands!

You can do a dry shot fairly stealthy and keep your warranty.
A friend used to have "nitrous in a gym bag" plumbed into the air box.
Portable, easily removed and stealthy for the occasional race.
Don’t forget the full throttle switch!

I just bought a NOS dryshot kit from a friend for $350, not a bad price

Now I need the following parts, if I miss something please add .

S pipe
wideband
bottle heater
purge kit
remote bottle opener
nitrious pressure gauge

MSD window switch, you can set this at any RPM to cut off the nitrious, just in case you hit the rev limiter and it cuts the fuel, So I might set this at 5800 or 6000 rpm

I'm going to go with a 75 shot , I think it will be safe.

Also does anybody think I should up grade injectors, or fuel system?

Post some pics and what type did you get? Just remember nitrous is like a hot chick with STD's. You want to hit it but your afraid of the consequences.
