Nitrous is safe when used in conjunction with the right safety precaustions such as MSD window switch.

Exactly, when used with a window switch and full throttle switch it is fine. Is it the best thing for a stock motor? Probably not, but then what is.

Now lets sit back and wait for the nos is rice and nos sucks comments.

It allows a range for the nitrous to be sprayed in. You set it with a start rpm and a stop rpm, and it only allows the nitrous to be sprayed in that rpm range.

Stop labeling people with "Ricers!" Only good Japanese cars can support nitrous. It is safe, especially "Zex" which is the most technologically advanced nitrous, and safest. As long as it is a small shot, nothing more than 50 shot for sure, your car should be ok.

For real. I use a 175 shot on my Mustang and it handles it very well all the time.

You have a 5.0, shit! Why don't you go out and put a ****ing 175 shot into a Toyota Corolla and see what happens. All cars are different, some can't handle nitrous. I've seen even well-built cars with very low mileage engines use nitrous, then his entire engine bay just went to hell. I wouldn't recommend so much nitrous, it's kinda unsafe.

And another thing, Zex doesn't suck, you've been watching too much Fast and the furious if you think Nos is good.
