my friend uses NOS on his daily driver and its minors....he has stock internals and i think hes doin a 70 shot...not too sure but its bigger than 50
the only thing is that ever since he got the car, his clutch has been goin a little its time for a new one

its fine. do your timing, run 91 octane and keep your 2 degree colder plugs clean all the time and you'll be straight.

same with my friends 91 rex si.he sprays 50 shot and it still runs good he's had it for almost a year now too.only thing is he has had problems with stock clutch not being able to handle the extra juice.so i would atleast recommend getting beffier clutch setup.so just as long as u dont abuse it will be fine. and i would stick with 50-70 tops until beffier internals are put in.

Its all relative. Some people have horror stories while others have excellent results. Depends on how you use it and how the motor handles it. Its pretty much a gamble and a decision you should make on your own. I personally never had any negative results with my ZEX kit on my D16z6...but I spent the money on a clutch and made sure I had fuel at all times and always checked everything before and after I sprayed. I guess its all in HOW you use it. Responsibly or not.

This is the best advice you will ever recieve...

Nitrous can be safe and reliable but it depends all on the user. I had nitrous on my auto 97 integra LS, this was a couple years ago and i was irresponisble and used it ALOT like every light not every light but ALOT and that was on a 75 shot
, i eventually blew my head gasket... but i also have friends who spray and their A-OK and they have been spraying for a while

So just be smart about it and don't push it all the time and you should be good 50 shot is very safe IMO

Umm...right

I ran an 80 shot of nitrous on my ZC forever and the only problem I had was I melted a valve because I had a bad injector. Stupid me for not checking them

Nitrous is perfectly safe if you take the necessary precautions to run it. Anyone can half *** a nitrous install, and usually those are the people that brake things....like I did.
