im in the process of upgrading my exhaust and my intake to perfermance type parts etc... i eventually want to install a 100-shot nos tank in the trunk but im confused on which parts I should upgrade and which I should leave.

I have a 97 ST and I've considered all my options, this seems to be the most reasonable and the most affordable. I will be going with a nitrous express model with 100-shot.

let me know if you have any suggestions or comments about this. thanks for your time.

:-) thanks for the advice, but i really want to shoot for a 100-shot. I like workin on cars so why not do something useful, 50-shot might be good for a while, but in the long run i'll really want 100-shot so, why not go for that in the first place.

referring to 50/100-shot systems, can i easily upgrade from a 50-shot to 100-shot? Is it just like replacing the bottle or do i need a completely different system?

as for exhaust, i was told to go with a 2.5" downpipe, which i am having custom bent for me... can't hurt.

furthermore, i know i'll have to get non-platinum plugs that are 1 to 2 steps colder than stock... and thats fine for the pistons and rings, should I be worried about anything else?

and is there any brand/make of pistons that you would recommend?

If you like working on cars... you should already know these things... especially when you plan on running nitrious. Nitrious is good for nothing, aside from straigh-line runs, which can get pretty boring. You say you wanna run a 100 shot? Heh, this isn't Fast and Furious here. A 100 shot requires a lot of serious build-up, both internally, fuel-wise, and timing-wise. It's equivalent to about 20psi on a turbo. It'll be an expensive build-up... unless you're Paul Walker rolleyes.gif

IMO, graduate from the straight line, and if you're good, an underpowered car can hand over very powerful vehicles their arses in corners... everyone is so concerned about speed and power, but with a bad driver, speed and power means jack...
