iridiums, and i believe the small tippied plats, will melt very quickly in an engine
same problem me and bosch platnums have......only turbo/nitrous friendly plug i have used so far is ngk
is a 50 shot going to **** my **** up in the long run.........if its a risk i jsut wont do nitro ill just wait for my turbo money.
either route you go it will eventually if not immediatly take its toll on your engine. as long as you under stand how nitrous works, how to use it, and tune it properly you should have a fun little set up that will last for some time.

nitrous ive heard gets old after a while...its like you hit a button and your getting a few extra ponies for 10 seconds, sacicons is right, a turbo is not much more expensive than a decent nitrous kit and in the long run it will be more of what you want

and to double what finalimpact said, either one will wear down your engine, so it doesnt really matter which you go your gunna need to service it more than w/o forced injection

I would not reccommend a dry shot.
Simple things to remember:
1. You need colder plugs. If a plug melts.... well.... lets just say you wont be driving for a while
2. Be prepared for a nitrous backfire. This sometimes happens on nitrous and will blow your intake into many tiny pieces.
3. You need to upgrade your fuel delivery system a LOT. The problem with dry kits is that if something goes wrong, and your engine doesnt recieve enough fuel, the result is an EXTREMELY lean condition in the engine which also means you probably wont be driving for a while =)
I WOULD reccommend a wet shot or direct port. A wet shot is not that much harder than a dry shot, and a direct port is not that much harder than a wet shot depending on what kind you buy (I/E going through the mainfold or injectors). There is less chance for error on both driver and machine side.
Also if you are going to use nitrous, please please please please PLEASE, use a computer activated switch. When armed, this will only activate the nitrous between a set # of rpms (I/E 2500 and 8000 in my case) and only when the accellerator is at WOT. If your car leaves WOT or the rpms go too low or high, the nitrous will shut off. Safety first :-D
Oh yea, and dont push your car too much. I would go with a 50 shot on stock internals to be safe. Ive seen at least 2 civics blow their engine simply b/c their car couldnt take a 100 shot.

no dont get me wrong...nitrous can be helpful if your street racing (not that i endorse it ) but if your running NCCA your not gunna want to installi t cuz its illegal

but if your not running NCCA competitions you could potentially use it if your racing a vette at a stoplight

just make sure to get a turbo and before u get nitrous u shud prolly get racing rods (4340 steel'd prolly b best) and maybe new pistons
