thinking of installing a small shot
Ive been thinking about getting a small kit this year to put in my car like around a 35 shot and 3 or 5 pound bottle. I dont want to mess around with fuel and ignition so thats why Im thinking a really small shot will be added power without killing the engine. Would it even be worth it or should i put in something a little bigger like a 50 or 55 shot?

You will feel a 35 shot. But you will want a 50 shot. You should also stick with the 10lb bottle since you go through those pretty easy. Just find the standard import kit from NX and you'll be good.
If you ever go over a 50 shot, make sure to get a 190lph fuel pump. That's easy to install if you're wondering.

Before you do anything at all, you need to understand that nitrous supplies no power at all. 100% of the power generated comes from the ability to burn extra fuel in the same space. N2O is an oxidizer, not a fuel. You will need to add more fuel with the nitrous or you will lean out your engine and destroy it.

Yes, you will feel the difference between the 2. I felt a difference between 35, 50, and 60. I stopped at 60 and went with a turbo for full time power.
