Default looking to the future and life of my new motor

well my motor (05 type s) took a dump on me and acura is replacing my motor for free. I had always planned on doing intake , race header and a catback. but i wanted 13's so i was thinking of a 55 wet shot (zex). i obviously know i have to break this new motor in but, how long in additon to the 1500-2000 mle brake in do i need to wait for the nitrous. also if a was to spray a 55 shot 4 times a month. do u guys think my motor will be toast in a year or something?

if i was you i would just skip the nitrous altogether. build it up n/a or turbo you will be much happier IMO.

Nitrous will be ok but you will eventually hit a wall and it will get old. Plus think about paying for a refill and how much it will cost. Add up the payments and it might just be worth it to save up and do small upgrades like suspension and vavle train. With a turbo the possibiblities are endless.
