Got Juice?
Decided to do one more perf mod. I always swore I would never do juice but
the kits are so well designed now I feel comfortable going this route. I went
with the 125 dry shot Pro kit from Nitrous Direct. Its an inexpensive way to
add some nice "on demand" power! I screwed up and got a 15lbs tank, I've
ordered a 10lbs tank which fits neatly in the rear storage compartment for
stealth. Planning to put this baby to use at the CI drag races!
I'll post pics after the install;

Nitrous is like a hot chick with an STD. You want to hit it but you're scared of the consequences.

several folks on the subject. With the quality and control you get today
your very unlikely to have any problems. Especially when you go with a
low shot like 100 and dry. The thrill factor has overuled my fears, I'm
going for it!

Good luck with the install. Your car should really be a beast after putting that on.

I have had the juice for about 3 years now with a 75 wet shot and no problems thanks to all the safety equipment such as a window switch & fuel pressure safty switch. but I would expect to replace your clutch soon with the 100 shot.

I am running a NOS Dry system on my car for a 100 shot and these cars are thrusting for the juice. I was skeptical too, but I haven't had any real problems and when I get the tune with my heads and cam set up, I am looking at a 500 rwhp car with the 100 shot. Warranty? Never had one and as for stealth...nope, I put my 15 lbs in back so the nozzle is between the seats...I love it! 
Have fun with the install and using it when it is done.

Congrats my friend, u'll love it... i too am debating doing nitrous on my motor, but a lot of my friends are telling me not too... im already at ~500+rwhp, which is plenty at that... a cool 100 shot from TNT kit, im up at 600/650 @ wheels...
as a side note, why did u go with the dry kit? usually, a wet is safer... just wondering?
at any rate, enjoy that nitrous!!! your going to love that added hp!

Two reasons I went with the dry;
1) From everything I've read and folks I've talked to, Dry is safer;

So much misinformation concerning dry hits, out there. Actually if this was going to be an issue, it would likely be more a wet thing. Wet nozzles are after the throttle, thus a sticking open or leaking n2o noid could (very unlikely) stir up fuel vapors and then when starting boom. Blown Z06 had it right you have a better chance of a shark bitting you in the azz...

to wet if I take the notion!

I am going with a dry kit too, I don't have the big numbers you guys do, mostly stock here, would like to break into the high 7's in the 1/8, I think this will do it quite safely.
Here is some panels I had made up to replace the ashtray, not sure which ones I am going with still tweaking the designs.
