100 dry is pushing...if you do 100 or anything over 75, do a wet shot IMO.

and oh yeah...kiss your tranny goodbye get a valve body upgrade at least

sounds good i guess ill start it at the 50 shot see how the tranny likes that and eventualy get the vb recalibrated but dosent that just extend the tranny life so i guess its still abuse just make it take the abuse longer eventualy i guess this is gonna kill the tranny no matter what i do to the tranny so its a shot in the dark i like those odds thanks for the suggestions

Stock VE MT vs. VG AT on NO2 = VE leaving with tail between it's legs and VG on a tow truck. It's a win lose situation. But the nitrous will give you a reason for the almighty 5 speed swap. Now it's a win-lose-win situation. Oh yeah

Hving nitrous in a 5 speed is a lot more difficult than in an auto. YOu now have to concentrate on specific shift points and all that other good stuff. Why else are all the good Maxima's with nitrous on the org are Autos. For example Jime. I highly doubt that your car will catch on fire because of nitrous. In fast and furious their car was kind of filled with bullets shortly before it blew. With proper fuel management (ECU reprograming) or external fuel management system then you have nothing to worry about. You should post in the Nitrous forum for better responses and for some with more experienced answers than opininated answers.

Wow shift at 7500 RPM imagine an engine blowing in the Maxima whilst spraying. Almost forgot about your Integra though. Redline is some 1500 rpms greater than the max. At 3500 you're just gaining traction and that leaves about 2 seconds to spray. Just have your VB recalbrated or if you have the money to waste have your tranny's internals built to hold the power.
