Why not NOS?

Simply think s Nitrous as liquid forced induction. Would you add a turbo, or a supercharger to your car? If the answer is no, then there you go. As for the $500 system, go for it. I make very good money cleaning up after the people who like to cut corners. A proper system with the correct DME reprogramming would be ok but when you start dropping $$$$$ on bottle refills you will come to realize that it isn't cheep.
We, just for kicks installed a 250 shot on my sons Eagle Tallon, (it was on it's last legs anyway) Man that was a fun 150 miles.
The car is yours, the choice is yours, the results are yours too. I wouldn't do it to my car, but that is just me, and I would be staying in the "nause" cause I am a speed freak.

I suggest you peruse the IMS posts on this board. Given that their is a structural flaw that allows engines to greanade, personally, I would be loathe to experiment with MY engine.

Of course, we are happy to have you try it and report back.

Good luck and go with God.

I have no intention of being a guinea pig. Since the car has been out, what, 11 years, I thought somewhere someone must have given that idea some thought and I wanted to know the nuts and bolts of why it couldn't be done. I figured $500 was overly optimistic because nothing can be done cheaply to a P car. The key, as many have pointed out, is a properly designed system and it doesn't look like there is such an animal available off the shelf. I would prefer a turbo because I know that's been done and it would be usable on a daily basis.

I'd prefer a turbo too. It's just 10x more $$$. However, it's under your right foot any time you want it and there's no bottle to refill.

Well. Looks like you've found your kit. The questions now are, where do you put the fogger? Where do you get a TPS signal? Where do you mount the bottle? Etc..

Surely this motor can support a 75HP shot. ( a honda civic can) If the bottom end can support 75 HP from a turbo or SC then this would be no different. The cool thing about EFI is that if the jets for the nitrous are slightly rich or lean the system will make up the difference in a matter of milliseconds. Another cool thing is that the engine likely has a knock sensor and can retard the timing if that should prove to be an issue.

You seem certain that the Box can deal with the NOS hit. I am curious as to why you believe this?

Can the bottom end handle 75 HP from a turbo or supercharger?? What would the difference be???
