well obviously that is a BIG problem. i was just seeing if it is worth the money compared to something like F/I. not saying that it is any safer, maybe not as likely to put my one and only car out of commision for too long...

if done wrong... yes. just do it right and don't just jump into it. build your car without it, and then if you want more than look into it. if you do decide to go this route the 2.4 manifold will help for sure since it is one solid molded piece instead of 2 glued together like the 2.2 intake manifold

on a 2.2 it will probably be safer than F/I for the simple fact that you will not be using the nitrous ALL the time like you would a sc or turbo. build yourself right and you should be fine. I mean there is ALWAYS risk, but you can minimize that risk.

On the stock 16 inch rims with Pirelli's you should top out around 120mph. Since you have swapped rims your speed governor is the same but you speedo may be off.
