this would be better addressed by reading up on the many members who have posted in the Forced Induction\Nitrous forums here.

Your concern is warranted but unneeded...the ZEX nitrous system has been used for many months or a couple years that I have personally heard of without incident.

You will do well for yourself to read the Nitrous FAQ and shorten the learning curve on what you need to prepare for when making this type of modification...but FTR, it is very fun...

Nitrous is a subject that you really should understand pretty thoroughly before you go ahead and buy a kit. It's not particularly dangerous for your engine at all if you have the proper gauges and your car is prepped.

Yup. Use it right........check your plugs........a egt gauge would be good too........

Your plugs will tell you if your car is good on the bottle or not.....

Plugs do not lie
