ICULUKN-C5 please read
Ive got a 1999 6 speed FRC with 60k miles on it, I was wanting to put in a 100shot(or less) in it, but keep it in a good price range (Work about 15 hours a week at 5.57 a hour :mad )
What all would I need and what would be a good price? & I want to be safe!

Looks like a gifty-Mc-gifty from the parentals. Honestly man, N20 is good bang for the buck, but you need some more buck for that as well..

Hey...Be easy on the guy. 17 yrs old....Many 17 yr. olds wish to have a C5 instead of a Geo or Rice Mobil.
I think if I was 17 and had a C5 and that income I'd be saving my money to pay for the tickets I would be getting.
When I was 17 I had a new Mustang GT Convertible with a NOS wet kit. I got 7 tickets in 6 weeks, paid $2400 in fines and lost my license for 1 year. I soon learned to slow down when I see Police Officers.

Dont beat on the poor guy,, I would have never bought my c5 if I never had inherited a few bucks....I hope my parents approve... However, I would trade the car to be able to hug them again......

Well at least you've got good taste in the cars you buy. 
I would put safety above all else if you go ahead and install the nitrous. You definitely don't want to pop a piston. Iculukn'll help you out...
