how much can a stock 2.0 handle?
motor is super strong, runs great, only 69k.

I sprayed a 75 shot through my 04 SXT... I had 10 or more bottles through that motor and it took it like a champ.

Well that depends.... I vote gas it, keep buying bigger and bigger jets, until your stock motor spits parts into the oil pan. When that happens build a stronger motor and do it again. Win!

50hp shot is the best bet on a stock 2.0, I would not push it any higher unless you have a built bottom end.

Meh! I ran a 75 for the LONGEST time but I also had a motor with less than 10k miles on it. (the car was new)

I swear I posted earlier but I guess it didn't go through.

If you're going to do nitrous, do it the right way the FIRST time and it will save you a lot of money in the end.

Window switch / wot switch / bottle heater / etc...

Like I said, it'll cost more initially but it'll save your ass in the long run. Trust me, I know from experience, lol....

From what I remember the general rule of thumb is 25hp per cylinder, so theoretically you should be able to run a 100hp system.

IF your fuel is right.

thanks guys, definatly plan on running a wet system so the fuel will be good, and the motors got decent miles on it, dosnt seem like it was really beat on befor i got it. and im proby gonna go with the 75 shot like lownslow suggested.
any suggestions as to which kit is the best?

But how much does displacement play into that? The 2.0 would only be a 4 liter V8.

I would recommend only Nitrous Express components.
