lol besides blwoing your engine into pieces lol. nooooo

but if you do it right your stock engine can handle a 50 dry shot. and im just gonna run that. through all gears computerized on off switch.. my friend hit 14.3 with his set up. in a 2.4

well obviously that is a BIG problem. i was just seeing if it is worth the money compared to something like F/I. not saying that it is any safer, maybe not as likely to put my one and only car out of commision for too long...

if done wrong... yes. just do it right and don't just jump into it. build your car without it, and then if you want more than look into it. if you do decide to go this route the 2.4 manifold will help for sure since it is one solid molded piece instead of 2 glued together like the 2.2 intake manifold

on a 2.2 it will probably be safer than F/I for the simple fact that you will not be using the nitrous ALL the time like you would a sc or turbo. build yourself right and you should be fine. I mean there is ALWAYS risk, but you can minimize that risk.

hey dont worry about it. it was your first time and like we stated 100 times in this thread... not all cars are created the same. they can roll off the same line on the same day and one for some reason has 5 or 10 extra hp and one has 5 less than it should... it just happens.

don't feel bad. and dont worry about the time you run, just try and improve your time... thats the real fun.

On the stock 16 inch rims with Pirelli's you should top out around 120mph. Since you have swapped rims your speed governor is the same but you speedo may be off.
