At the size shot this thing provides it probably wouldn't hurt anything if used occasionally but you should run an A/F meter if you try it. It's just a ghetto fabricated dry nitrous system using a small paintball C02 tank. I wouldn't hesitate to make a similar system for some busted up car I didn't care about blowing up, but I would never install it in a car I care about at all.
A system like this would probably be too small to tune your car or get a feel for when to use the shot. A cheap system like this probably wouldn't have a WOT switch, so you'd have to be more conscious of when you're spraying (part throttle + nitrous = blow up your intake manifold). And keep in mind you'll have to drive over to the place that sells N20 every time you drain this thing.
Check out the stickies in the nitrous forum, and read thouroughly before addidng something like this on to your engine. BTW, that shadyshot company looks shady... they haven't even built their site yet, that homepage is just a mockup.
I am thinking about purchasing one and running a little rich with SAFC2 during races, and i'll just have a pressure switch underneath my gas pedal to replace the WOT sensor
theoretically it works. just make sure you have your a/f gauge hooked up, if you start leaning out.. shut it off
i've done some forum research with google on this kit, and the few forums where a user actually purchased a kit seemed to have some level of success with it
