Nitrous oxide on a e430?

Is the engine capable of handling it? Any thoughts?

Given that the same engine made it to AMG 55 status, and survived in the more powerful 500 version, and that I have 140K problem-free miles on mine, with regular bouts of pedal stomping, I think it can handle a little added stress. How much? You will be the avant-garde, the Spitzenreiter, the guinea pig, to let us know.

I'm not sure, i was hoping someone else has tried it already, i don't want to go too big if i'm the guinea pig. I was looking at dry 50 shots, i don't want to stress it too much but i want more power, i've been looking around at different mods to throw in her, i'm doing the xpipe this weekend and my buddy has a few different nitrous kids he was willing to sell me.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
A few issues

A.Pulling out timing
B. The 722.6 hates a jolt of Laughing gas.
C. Do the readapt procedure on the shift TCU and call it good.
Or be prepared to puke the guts out of the 5 speed.

So in other words stay away from nitrous because it doesn't play nice with our trannies.
