One word WOW! I'm only using a 35 shot but it makes a world of difference. Only thing I wasn't expecting was how it raised my boost. I had it set for 15psi and with nitrous it was 18. Is this normal?
 
I'm running a NX wet kit. I have all the jets up too 100, but I wanted to start small first. One of my friends said a 35 shot on my car felt like a 75 shot on a N/A car.
 
Heh heh. Welcome to the world of nitrous. Your friend is dead on accurate when he says the 35 shot feels like it adds 75HP. It's prolly pretty close to that figure. And yes, going from 15 psi to 18 psi is perfectly normal. It's boost creep, and happens when the nitrous causes a tremendous increase in exhaust pulse. As long as it doesn't lean out or go to detrimental levels, you will be fine. However, the turbo's life span may end up being a bit shorter (assuming you are still on the T25.)

Regards,
 
That's kind of what we thought, but weren't for sure. I have a super16G so it should last longer then the T25 would. :) And we did have to richen up a touch after the first run with the nitrous. But after that everything seemed fine, EGTs and O2s that is. And yes I'm hooked now. :)
 
Have yet to run it with the nitrous yet. Should have some times by the 23rd. And I will definitely improve my shitty 2.6 60' time fromt he last time. :)
