What is the max amount of nitrous on 55?
He talked me into it awhile back and it was a blast. Wet shots into the TB with the nozzle mounted in the plastic Y Pipe.
Only thing I noticed monitoring it with my wide band was there was a small lean spike when you hit the switch but it quickly went away. We think it was the fuel rail draining or something. With these new injectors, I can imagine how big a shot you could hit these things with now!!

What's up jack pro, how are you doing ?
This is how an urban legend starts
. A 200+ plus shot would empty the fuel rail in a hurry. You would need a seperate fuel system just for the Nitrous, not to mention some race gas. The Biggest shot I ran is 125 , If my memory serves me right 51-53 & 23-21 pills. The only damage I ever did was to the blower, it sucked up the inlet hose wire on boost. So everyone better check those things and tie them with safety wire, especially the big tb guys.The guys who are modding these cars now defintely have an advantage with all the different aftermarket go fast goodies available for the 55's and MB's in general.

Please let me know if you run the 35shot -- i am very interested in the car's reaction... My car is not modded as aggressively - So, if your ECU can read the shot correctly and compensate with the right amount of fuel --- then mine will surely have no problem.
Wet nitrous oxide systems provide fuel enrichment by teeing off of the engine fuel rail and feeding it into the injection nozzle.
The ZEX™ "Wet" Nitrous Oxide System has the most advance features of any "wet" nitrous oxide system on the market. All components, such as the solenoids and activation electronics, are factory pre-assembled inside the "Nitrous Management Unit". This ensures you will be spending less time in the garage installing the system and more time out having fun. The patent pending "Fuel Shear" technology used in the ZEX™ nitrous nozzle, places the enrichment fuel directly inside the high-speed nitrous oxide plume exiting the nozzle. This results in the most complete atomization of enrichment fuel possible. Super-fine atomization of enrichment fuel ensures maximum horsepower and eliminates fuel puddling that can cause intake backfires. Even the way the ZEX™ Nitrous System is activated is unique. Instead of relying on crude micro-switches or push buttons, the ZEX™ "wet" nitrous system uses advanced electronics to "learn" the throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage curve. It then programs itself for your specific vehicle and, when armed, will only activate the nitrous system at wide-open throttle. This ensures perfect engagement every time the nitrous system is used. Advanced features like this make the ZEX™ "wet" nitrous system the easiest to install, the most powerful, and the most reliable nitrous system on the market.
Found it:
Dry nitrous oxide systems provide fuel enrichment by increasing the fuel pressure to the fuel injectors as the nitrous system activates.
ZEX™ has designed the ultimate "Smart" Nitrous Oxide System. The ZEX™ "Dry" Nitrous System, using ZEX™'s patented fuel control technology, reads the nitrous bottle pressure and adjusts the fuel enrichment accordingly. If it is a cool day out and the nitrous bottle pressure is around 700 psi range, the nitrous system will add less enrichment than if it is a warm day and the nitrous bottle is at 950 psi. This unique feature ensures that you always have the optimum ratio of nitrous oxide and fuel, never too rich, never too lean. This ensures maximum power and safety at all bottle pressures. Once armed, the kit is activated at wide-open throttle by a programmable electronic sensor that "learns" the voltage curve of your TPS sensor. This design ensures your nitrous oxide is engaged at the perfect throttle point every time. The design of ZEX™ "Dry" Nitrous System makes it the simplest, safest, and easiest to install nitrous oxide kit on the market.

I believe when set up properly and used in small quantities it is perfectly fine, however, it is still a big risk, especially when you strapping it on these expensive/hard to replace engines, this is the reason I have managed to stay clear, so far. lol
