    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Hey everyone,

I’m running a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 RS (manual), and I’m about to start a wet nitrous project (fuel + nitrous sprayed together). The car is already fully set up for E85 and tuned by Alpha Speed.

Here are the main mods currently on the car:

- Ported upper and lower intake manifolds
- Long tube intake
- Throttle body and intake manifold spacers
- High-performance fuel pump
- Upgraded ethanol-compatible injectors
- NGK spark plugs
- Full bolt-ons (headers, exhaust, etc.)

This is just a highlight of the important supporting mods. The car runs great on E85 and is very responsive.

Now I’m looking for advice before I install the nitrous:

- What’s a **safe nitrous shot** on a high-mileage 3.8 engine? (Car has around **280,000 km** on it but very well maintained with regular oil changes.)
- Is a **75 shot** safe?
- Would a **100 shot** be pushing it?

- Do I **need to retune** after installing the nitrous kit, even though it's a wet shot?

I’m not planning to use nitrous daily — just occasional pulls or fun runs. I’d love to hear from anyone who's run nitrous on this platform or knows someone who has. Any tips, do’s/don’ts, or experience is highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
