You will be safe with a 50 shot if you have the truck tuned too. DO NOT try to just throw a kit on there and hit it. IT needs to be tuned for nitrous.

No the computers are that sensitive. You don't want it to run lean. And running rich will not produce power. you can proly do an 80 shot with a good tune without a problem. I just feel any more than that and the stock pump won't be able to keep up.

depends on the size of the shot as well. a 75 shot will drain a bottle faster then a 25 shot
