is this safe to do or is not safe because of the high compression? I've got header, intake, exhaust so it's not completely stock. Also should I go wet or dry, what's the difference? All I want is a 50 though, nothing bigger. Thanks

I'm not sure about the wet or dry but a 50 shot should be safe just don't spray everytime you go somewhere.

Personally I absolutely hate dry kits. I would go with a wet kit if you are comfortable with it. The key to having a good experience with nitrous is to learn and know what you are doing and DO NOT ABUSE IT!!

I would personally go with a wet system.
A wet system sprays a mist of nitrous and fuel into your intake (there are other methods such as direct port) and decreases the chance of leaning out your fuel mixture.
A dry system sprays only nitrous and "tricks" the car into adding more fuel to the cylinders.
On any set up it would be wise to upgrade your fuel system (injectors, rail, regulator) and even your ignition. On some applications you can decrease your spark plug gap instead of changing your ignition system but i would not always recommend that. You will also have to retard your timing a few degrees.
I'm sure whetteg can answer any more of your questions or go into further detail of what I have explained.
Hope this helps a little! :smile:

Ok you don't need to upgrade the fuel injectors, or fuel rail for a wet kit b/c it does not affect these at all. Now for a dry kit the injectors can be upgraded along with a hondata etc for a really nice dry kit, that is the only way I would ever dare to use a dry kit. Now as far as upgrades the most important one is the fuel pump that should be first along with colder plugs. Then an ignition is a plus but is not required to run well and safe. Also make sure you have some srt of activation by way of WOT or MSD window switch or my favorite hondata ( you can set it up so that when you press the A/C putton it will arm the Nitrous system ).
