Something may break with that much extra HP (150) because you have a stock block. BUT- I hear people running 125-150 with the stock bottom end and have no problems. I think you just need to upgrade your fuel system and give it a... shot.

Depends on what type of N20 system are you runnin'? If it's a wet kit, you are good to go right now. Run 150 all day. Won't (theoretically) have to upgrade anything. These kits are jetted for both N20 and extra fuel. If it's dry, then what they all said...upgrade your fuel pump ,lines,filters, etc. Your 24# injecters will be fine. Take into account the age of the movable components, gaskets,etc of your motor. Horsepower up, reliability down and visa versa. Get a good tune(timing,AF ratio), use good gas, get a fuel pressure safety switch(must). Stock tranny and clutch wwill take a beatin', but they'll work. I'd just use what ya have until(if) they fail. Do your homework and all of those horror stories will be that,only stories. I ran a 150 NX wet shot for 2 years on my stock 2000gt, ran like a champ and NEVER had a problem. I've been around alot of nitrous cars and have never seen a catastrophic failure. Not to say they don't happen, but the kits today are so safe and advacnced. I know this is long, but I want you to use that 150 and be able to sleep at night. The 150 is a MUCH harder hit than the 100...and much more fun. Enjoy. rik

what he said. I had a wet kit on my 02, the only thing you need to do is close the gap on your plugs a little. and dont leave you blanket on with the valve closed, thats how i put 4 holes in my block.
