I started with the 55HP NOS shot, and recently changed to the 75 Shot. That's what I am worried about most, the tranny. I ordered the Stage 1, but if I want 25 more HP, I can just go to the 100 shot. Just don't want the tranny to go boom. Wonder if there is a way to make it stronger without buying a whole new transmission?

Also, I spoke to a mechanic who works on the PT Cruiser engine a lot, and he said that the motor, under normal conditions, after about 60 thousand miles, the head gaskets often blow. He was reluctant to put the NOS system in my car with the Turbo, because I was adding so much more power and stress. So, we will see.

Ken, that mechanic is full of it! I've know a few people with PT's that have way over 60k miles with no blow head gaskets. If that was true alot of the SRT-4 guys would have had problems, especially since the ones with Stage 3 is boosting at 26psi. This is an extremely well built engine, especially the turbocharger version of it. Plus a few SRT-4 guys are making 400-500hp at the wheels with the stock internals and no head gasket problems, and they are making way more power that a Stage 1 PT turbo with a 100 shot of the goof gas.
