Isn't a wet setup for a 50 shot overkill? It wouldn't hurt I guess, but you can save a bit more bean considering your stock injectors and fuel pump should be able to handle a dry 50 shot without any problems. A range colder or more on the plugs should be more than sufficient.

As with anything else, how long the engine will last depends more on how you drive and maintain it. If the kit is installed properly,the car is maintain well, and you use the NO2 sparingly (read as not every stoplight), you should still be able to expect a long life from your engine. Naturally, you may experience a bit more wear compared to someone without a power adder, but that's the opportunity cost you incur. You have to pay to play.
