Default Newb to the isf, nitrous question

ok, im not new to nitrous, ive been spraying my s10 and mustang for years, i just picked up an 08 isf. ok now i know the tuning capabilities are very limited with these cars. what supporting mods are needed to support nitrous? ive seen the car with the direct port fogger and claiming a 225hp shot and not turning a good time at all, i think it was 12.39 @ 117mph. then i see other isf with a single nozzle in front of the throttle body running deep in the 11s. Basically i have a bunch of nitrous stuff laying around and can piece together a kit with minimal cost.

You can run up to 100 shot with no problems or any other mods. The problem is you can't retard the timing on these cars so anything more I would add a dedicated fuel cell and run race fuel while your spraying.

You should be fine coming from the mustang world. Just like H60 says, you should be fine spraying 100 in stock form. Anything over that I would recommend freeing up exhaust flow.

I am too thinking about the nitrous route for power increase. I have headers and exhaust right now and wanting another 75whp. Only problem is that my car is a DD and it is at 99.5k miles already. Should I get nitrous still at 99.5k? Someone mentioned that I would have to change out spark plugs more often when I'm running nitrious, is it true?

for real, i was in the most of moded isf owners place as looking for more power
so as soon as i bought my isf i finished the enitre mod that most owners do on their car

intake header exahust
and also the nos... but here is the think.. with isf runing so rich from the oem
is nos really worth ? not really I took a nos route due to there is no more mod option for isf and nos was the ONLY mod that acutally add more whp to the car and pretty sure you used nos
its for temp use not for long run or multiple runs in a same day
since the nigeljdm or whatever talking about isf sard ecu remapping at the cost that most people know
hell what dont u get that ecu cos good set up of nos will run you part n install will be around 3-3500
get the ecu with other bolts on and screw the nos wait for the forced induction
i know a fact there is one user isf user telling me he spend about 20g on isf custom engline...
he built the isf engline .... i think he is almost done n all he is posting vids on lexotic on facebook so look into his mod also... nos will be your last option

I have an entire nitrous kit I just have to buy the RPM window switch and TPS activation switch. I do my own work so the cost will be nowhere in the realm of 3-3500. im talking a few hundred bucks

Good! Then go for it
And hey just give u a tip
U may got 2008 isf used for a good deal but when it comes to fix a isf due to a nos dmg or any maintaince ? The cost of this super toyota will surprise u compare to s10 n mustang cost
