Nitrious Question

I am now considering this mod, but I am concerned about the engine wear...I have seen it first hand and heard nightmares about nitirous eating seals and things away. I did here about DRY Nitroius and was interested in learning more, but I would like to hear more of the pros and cons on both setups.

Thanks,

Micah

Nitrous will not eat seals, etc. What it will do is increase cylinder pressure. If your rings are weak, you run the risk of breaking a ring or getting blow by

im in the same boat. looking to install within the next few weeks, but trying to do some research before hand!

dry is something i would never consider. im sure its not as bad as i think, but from what i hear, its really not the safest way to go. if you decide on dry, and you get fuel cut.... BOOOM!

im looking for the safest route to go. not looking for max gains, just something to add a little "kick" to the car!

good luck!
