Even with a 50 shot you will still have a 16 second car at best. Add to that, the $50 per refill and it just doesn't make sense.

If you want more power you should consider a complete supercharger kit. They seem like a lot of loot at first but since it is complete its worth it in the long run IMO. Nitrous kits add up fast. Besides the refills you will find yourself buying other bits like remote openers and purge kits. Yet another thing to think about is when you plan on using it. Say you plan on using it at the strip or you feel like making a few stoplight runs. You are going to plan for this and have the tank filled with premium. Running around town with premium in a car designed for regular will cost you MPG and HP.

I find the best way to buy big mods is to slap it on a credit card and then do a balance transfer to another car that offers 0% on transfers. That way you can enjoy the part as you are paying it off, plus you don't have to worry about getting nailed with interest. The worst case scenario is that the payments are too much after awhile and you have to take it off and sell it.

Just some food for thought.
Who said I nixed it? Its just on hold.

If you think my reasoning for doing this is really to go fast, you're in the dark. If I wanted to go fast, I'd buy a bike. This is about this car.
