to no2 or not to no2

okay im a bout 90 percent sure i want no2, but there are a few issues that i cant seem to settle mentally...this is where you guys come in...hah
the kit i WILL go with IF i get it is the sniper 35 shot, yea i know its little but thats the one.
now how hard is the stuff to actually install im a 2.2 and herd they respond pretty well to no2 so i looked up some stuff, all the guides make it sound pretty easy but im no mechanic...and it could be alot harder then it sounds on paper...the thing is where to get the bottle filled i cant seem to find a place in lansing MI that fills bottles...and finally how harsh is it really on the engine ( Dry shot ) cuz im a sophomore in college and will be drving this car till i graduate

current mods are CAI, Cat-Back, and B+M

bumped!

yeah i was just in a rush when typing

from what i read a dry shot is better for the engine is it not?

so, what are the large dangers of running a 35 shot, dry assuming a dry is better for the engine, besides detonation? i mean i would only use it for quick shots and only in dire need hahah

gimme some love haha

Dude you NEED a wet shot, you cant tune for a dry shot. YOU CANNOT RUN A SAFE DRY SHOT. Wet shot is safer anyway.

#2?... lol yeah man go ahead and poop, it's cool.

no but seriously, I've heard good things about it and bad things about it just depends on how you use it and if your motor can handle it.
