No - because it's useless unless your drag racing it, and I have no intention to do that.

no because its safer just to tune the ECU and cost about the same as NOS maybe even less. and its a constant power

no, I dont think its a good idea unless you want to burn the **** out of the SST tranny's clutches, which are by far the weakest link in the RA. imo.

i think horsepower is horsepower, so it wouldnt matter if it was from a bigger turbo or a 50 shot.

if u decide to run a reasonable wet shot, would tuning be required since the wet shot is providing the extra fuel to supplement the nitrous?

I'm a bigger fan of using nitrous spray on your intercooler.
You could rig something like that if you have spare parts and time....

this is the safest option if you have the extra parts laying about. Problem with cars nowadays is they are too computer controlled and it's hard to say whether or not nitrous will screw with the engine too much. But using it to cool air would be perfectly fine.

what if you put a piggyback and a wideband on the car so you could have a map just for the n2o.

come to think of it i havent seen anyone on here that is using a piggyback. how come? i know this car is new and alot of people are not wanting to screw with warrenty and all. if a canned tune can get you 50 ponies what can a piggy back get you?

I really think people are mostly concerned with the TC-SST. Wet nitrous systems are used for big power and drag racing, neither of which are the RA's forte. It might make sense for the GSR and EVO VIII & IX crowd, but RA and EVO X MRs aren't going to take to nitrous too well.

Somethings just aren't meant to go together: Like nuts and gum.

you can make up any shot you want. wet or dry, just have to play with the jets.

i might be beating a dead horse here. so can anyone comment on a piggyback?

I think with a wet kit you can just spray it since it contains the fuel already. That said, it could be risky. Nitrous isn't like a turbo, it doesn't come on slow, it's quick, hard power. It could present a problem for the transmission or throw the car into limp mode (since it suddenly detects an extra 50 HP).
