what's the most NOS i could shoot on a 99 Civic EX engine with only an AEM CAI?

They say to use a 50% rule...

Your motor is 100hp... you can use a 50 shot of NOS
Your motor is 160hp... you can use an 80 shot of NOS

etc.

well, the sohc vtec engine is ~130 hp... so 60 or 70? i don't wanna blow the hell out of the thing.

Yup... :devil:

just to be safe id only do a 50 shot

i'm with hobbesboarder, no use risking motor death

I think I read that the D16Y8 engine can safely tolerate up to 200hp. However, I'm unsure if the tranny can lay it down safely.

At the very least, a 50 shot will do nicely... or the 50% rule.
