Question to squeeze or not to???

contemplating my next mods. i was thinking of squeezing or getting a header. i will eventually get the header anyway, but i want to know more about nitrous. wet or dry? what shot? and is it safe with stock internals?

i know there is a search button, but the marine corps dosnt give me the time i need to sit here and look things up. id appreciate any information on this.

or

i would say no but if you do just a small shot (under 50) and most definitly wet shot. Boe has blown his engine twice with a 55 dry shot.

NOS = Recipe for disaster on a 4G94...just ask boeturbo...he blew something like 2 engine before he realized that.

Buy a header and have a consistent power gain rather than run the risk of blowing your engine with a $500 NOS set-up.

I tried a dry 50 shot and my car almost blew. A wet setup is supposed to be safer, Butt I think its all garbage. Save the money and go turbo, besides not only is it illegal on the street the tank runs out when you want it most

A wet setup will be considerably easier for the Lancer to handle since as opposed to a dry one, wet injects fuel along with nitrous to help keep temps down.

If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to run nitrous there are precious few things in the world that could force me to run a dry shot.
