NOS system for W202?
HAve anyone installed a NOS system in their W202? What size NOS is recommended for a 2000 C280 in order to increase horsepower safely? I have already installed power pullies from Evosport, exhaust from Remus, K&N air filter, but power isn't enough, and would like better performance without spending over $5K in a turbo or supercharger system. What other mod is need when installing the NOS or everything needed comes with the package when you buy it? Which system would you recommend (NOS, NX)?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

i would greatly recommend NOS, cos it its the most known system, with the latest technology, and also the one that gives more security.. that said... you can plug NOS in your stock engine and only have to buy better fuel and have an increase of ~100- 130 horsepower safely. If you want more than that, you have to get into changing pistons, pistonheads, camshafts, belts, pulleys, valves, heads, and sometimes the whole engine block (but thats only if you want like 800 horsepower more)..
so if you want to (for example) have 250 horepower more, you will have to buy as bare minimum, an upgraded ignition system, you will have to buy high octane fuel (most surely racing fuel), you will have to buy forged pistons, have an ignition retard by buying a new ignition system and have colder plugs and it is reccomended to have an upgraded fuel pump since all this increase in power will suck up more fuel than your OEM pump can provide.
but i strongly think that with these tough engines (even more your 280 which is quite tough) should withstand an 150-180 hp increase with no problems.
go by small increases in power, (just like overclocking a computer)
