In stock...you should come out and hang for a little bit. You can pick it up from here or when we meet at Sonics Thursday.

BTW...it's always a good idea to pick up an extra bottle...I have about 6 personally. Nitrous works wonders, but it will run out at the worst times

What are the pros/cons of running colder plugs when you are NOT spraying. . .

I'm looking into Nitrous as I prefer my DD experience to be nice and stock (quiet, comfortable, and efficient). Am I going to significantly affect daily driving MPG or anything else when running colder plugs and not spraying?

Your car is set up from the factory to make the most out of the combustion process for fuel efficiency and power. Colder plugs will effect that supposedly, but in all the cars we have cold plugs in it is not a noticable differance. You'd never know there was a new plug in the car. Milage seems to be the same as well as power.

Everything seems the same to me and I have 1 step colder plugs with a slightly smaller gap. You should be alright.

Put faith in a kit that is tailored to work with our cars. Nytrex systems sold by superfa run the scion nitrous show here in Central Florida.

How much does their kits run? I am interested in getting this around the summer time. I have a friend with a PT Cruiser 2.4L and he wants to run one to! How are the engines holding up? Any problems, anyone?

Oh and would it matter about running N2O during the summer? Houston can get incredibly hot, potentially more adverse affects on the engine internals or no? Sry for the questions but N2o has such sketchy info

You should spend some money on a book on nitrous for sport compact cars. There is a lot of good info out there and the more research you do the better off you will be.

XD40tc I saw that you posted the WOT wire you tapped to was light green. Can you check to make sure. It will help out alot. I also have an 06 but manual. Bought the ZEX kit I installed every dam thing but the WOT sensor. I tapped the $hit brown wire cuz it gave a 2volt reading then when i press the gas it goes to 5volts. The light green wire goes from 0 volts to 5volts when you press the gas to the floor. So which is it brown or green. Get back to me. Thanks..

HI,
not to break in. but Nitros does miracles.
i sprayed once with my mazda .and it did save me ahole 2 seconds.
only thing done to the car was head port and polished.
the shot was 75 on a V6 so that like equal 75 / 6 cylinder = 12.5 per cyl.
so a 4 cyl with 50 shot is the same.
i think with good driving and know when to spray it is possible.
i have the slips too.
if i have to post let me know.
2 whole seconds CUT on my car.

yeah that is one thing that TC by TRD is right about, nitrous will eat our stock clutches up quick. I've been runing a 100 shot for pretty much a year and mine is gone pretty much. Like i can tell i'm gonna need a new one soon.
