c55 + nitrous?

I was digging through my shed and found my old wet nitrous kit. I'd like to use a 100 shot on the car. I've used nitrous extensively before on other cars so I know whats involved and the risk of using it improperly. I'm just looking for anyone successfully used a wet 100 shot before.

Thanks in advance

I was just thinking about putting the NOS back on and heading to the track, this time with a 175 shot!

Holy crap! Guess you will be deep into the 11's then I swear I thought I saw that you had posted some pics of your install but I have searched and can't seem to find them. Any worries about axle or transmission breakage? Also, are you still controlling manually? Hooley's record is 11.55 I think, what do you expect? Awesome, whatever the results!

I am not sure if these motors can handle 175 shots without modding the internals. The C55 motor has about 11:1 compression ratio, which is about the maximum in M113 motor series. However, it is very interesting to see how much these motors can handle
