What's the safest shot of Nitrous I can squeeze on the HPTUNE for my 2010 Cobalt T/C? Thanks.

As much as you are willing to risk...

You could probably add 150hp if you have the proper supporting mods.

from past experiences, the LNF isnt a fan of nitrous. People blowing intercoolers and engines for that matter. Dont quote me on this but i think the direct injection has something to do with it.

Cause my car is tuned right now by HPTUNE so i wanted to see if they can re tune it with like a 50 shot.

I agree with u about it being direct injected but I've seen people squeeze with a low shot no higher then a 75 shot.

yea if you did it i would keep it with a small shot. If i were to do it, i would do it to help spool the turbo (im turbo swapped) and i would only run like a 25 or MAYBE a 50 shot. **** just makes me nervous

25 shot of nitrous is like 20 whp for 3 seconds. Is it really worth paying about 1k for that installed? Don't forget you have to probably get another tune for it as well.

go meth injection and call it a day..nitrous will blow your ish up man.
it will give you the 20-30 whp and be safe for the car and slightly cheaper than nitrous.

What a bunch of scared people

A properly done nitrous kit is very safe, and much cheaper than any other method to gain the same power.

As mentioned, on the DI motors you really can't do big shots, as the fuel injected with the nitrous doesn't atomize the same way and can detonate, so you'd have to tune the car to run a much lower A/F for bottle which becomes counter-productive.

But there's no other way to gain that much extra power for a couple hundred bucks once you've exhausted all the normal bolt-on+tune options.

Spray the intercooler with nitrous and run meth. Best of both worlds.

I agree with u cause I'm not trying to spray a 150 shot. Cause if I do spray it won't be more then a 50 shot. I saw ur Cobalt video and it's pretty fast man.

I run a 75 DRY shot on my car just about every weekend. Ran about 6 bottles through it already and about to go fill it up again. If you arnt a idiot you can run nitrous without any issue. Nitrous is just like boost. If you boost a n/a car it will blow up if its not tuned. If you raise to boost on a boosted car without a tune it will most likely blow up. Same idea with nitrous. The direct injecton has nothing to do with nitrous.
