theres a few members on the forum here running nos on stock motor. so as long as the motors healthy im sure 50shot wont hurtYou don't have to like what he did, but I would hope that you can appreciate the time, money and love that went in to the build. If you can't, you're not really an enthusiast, just another dumb kid with a car.-visualpoet
Money and Knowledge are never in the same sentence, because people with Money think they know it all, but people with knowledge, know better.-ragingasianComment

On a stock motor, the rule of thumb is no more than half the HP. We have a secton on nitrous in the performance section of the big kid's forum. Many many answers can be found there. You can look and read, but you won't be able to post there until you have your 30 posts in. Take the time to read the stickies at the top of each section, and use the search function in the upper right, it'll save you a lot of time and will keep you from asking the same questions as dozens or hundreds before you!

As long as it's not burning oil or has any knocking or pinging sounds go for it. Agreed 50 shot is all u should need for now.Originally posted by hdoubleduce2010 View Post

Im about to run a 75 shot on a tuned ECU here soon and my motor has 245k on it. Now if you had like 350k on your engine then yeah its going to pop as soon as you hit that button im sure but you should be able to get yourself a 50 shot and be fine.Originally posted by Johnz826 View PostAs long as it's not burning oil or has any knocking or pinging sounds go for it.

A 50 shot is safe, as is a 75 shot IMO, as I ran one for a while, as did my brother, but health of the motor is important. You may want to do a compression and leak down test before hand to ensure all is well internally.
Also, I have seen up to a 125 shot on a stock motor, but its not recommended.
You would be best to run a wet shot, run good gas, and get at least 1 step colder plugs for a 50 shot.
Is your car auto btw? If so, I wouldn't go with a very big shot.2010 Taurus SHO - Livernois Goodies

I would actually prefer dry over wet for a single port fogger, especially when only running a low shot (50-75). I wouldn't go over 75 with a dry shot.
A single nozzle wet system will very often result in the cylinders closer to the throttle body running rich, while the cylinders further away run lean. As long as you don't abuse it, and your motor is healthy, this probably won't be enough to do damage... but for this reason, I still prefer dry.
chessboxer's advice is the best you're going to get... make sure the motor is healthy, then run a low shot (50-75, no higher, unless you're prepared to blow something up.) A CB7's automatic transmission tends not to like excess torque, and most of the automatics on the road these days have not been properly maintained... so that's another reason not to abuse things. If you're automatic, I would do a fluid change, and use some good synthetic fluid, such as Red Line.

I agree with deeve on this on a 50-75 dry shot would be your best bet.....
ZEX make really good kits and NX would prob be the best!!

Zex is the most "idiot proof". NX, NOS, and other systems usually involve less electronics, and require a bit more knowledge to not blow up your motor. They're all perfectly capable systems (and for a low shot like this, I'm sure one is really no better than the other as far as function goes... though the flow ratings may differ, I've heard).
