In a very general sense, turbos and nitrous both add more air and fuel to the engine. And both put a certain amount of stress on the internals that can be measured in psi w/ turbos. So we all seem to agree 8psi is safe for the 5s. But we've seen 12psi, forget who. So what would a 50 or 75 shot translater into as far as strees like psi? Meaning, wouldn't a 75 shot be like running 7psi? (round 9-11 hp per psi, 75 shot equals 75hp) I know my equations are creud, so if anyone can clear up, lemme know.

But with a turbo and daily driving, ur car is always under stress. But with nitrous, its only under stress when u choose it to be. As far as new injectors go, with a wet shot, it has its own lil "injector" so to say. So maybe a bigger fuel pump. You gotta remember these nitrous systems are made to work on stock cars. Doesn't the zex's system just hook to the ecu and reprogram it for the shot?
