I wouldn't go this route. Seems like a waste. You would only get about two shots before you would need a refill.

In my opinion you will hardly notice a 50 shot. You need a 100 shot to really get what you want.

Really?? The C4 emblem looks like crap, I could only afford a C4 for my first vette. I plan on adding a 5 & 6 as funds allow. I like the C5 emblem best

like one other said i wouldnt mess with a sneeky pete, youll be lucky to get 2 passes out of it and a 50 shot would only give you maybe a couple tenths. i have the nitrous works system with a 175 shot and im getting about a 1.3 second gain. it also depends on what you are looking to gain, is the motor stock, slight build or what? if its stock i wouldnt go no more than a 100 shot and then you will need a retard box, so it really depends on what you are trying to gain.
