Of course
and you can run as big of a shot you want. if you want your motor to last and be reliable dont spray.

bullshit. you can run a 50 shot damn near forever.

Once you start going above that you'll need to beef up the internals and increase fuel delivery (if using a dry kit).

Damn ricer down the street from me, melted his pistons running a 75 shot on a stock motor.

Then the damn ricer down the street doesn't know what he is doing.

There are many misconceptions on Nitrous and I have been sprayin cars since quite a few of you guys were probably more like 10 or younger. I have NEVER melted anything aside from a spark plug end and that was 100% my fault. If you understand it and use the proper precautions (window switch, colder plugs, timing control) you will not have a single problem. I sprayed a 125 shot direct port on a 4 banger POS probe for more than a year and the motor looked new when it was torn down.

Sprayed a 100 shot single fogger on a B16 for quite a while and not a damn thing happened to it aside from a burnt plug due to my own stupidity (no window switch on that car).

Nitrous is a hell of a power adder for the occasional track **** but you can't just buy a 400 dollar kit and bolt it on and think you are good. You need to do a bit more research than that and you will be perfectly fine.

A turbo will kill an improperly tuned car quicker than nitrous because you will keep beating it until it breaks, there is no bottle to run out of. Just weigh your options and read up on the subject prior to making a decision.
