Re: Power

N02 is the chemical name for nitrous oxide, people dont like saying "nos" cause its too f&f. Even though a company that makes N02 kits is called "Nos". Their are two different types of N02 kits, wet and dry. A dry kit injects only the N02 and can be unsafe without something like a Fuel Management Unit to even out the gas/air ratio. A wet kit injects gas and N02 at the same time with a good mixture, so its alot safer for noobies to use. N02 is pretty simple to install and has potential to produce tons of HP. But your limited by how big your bottle is untill the next time you gotta shell 20-60 bucks to get it filled again.

Well im gonna think about that, but before i put juice in i want my car to be fastwithout the juice, so got any other opinion on good stuff i could in, like basic cheap mods that juste give me more torque or something?

Basically i want my car to have some base performance without the juice

thanks

Re: Power

an SHO does NOT have the same engine as your topaz. the SHO has a DOHC Yamaha 3.0L, you have an OHV ford 3.0L that was designed in the early 80's.

but, an SHO engine has been swapped into a Topaz, but it requires alot of custom fabrication. http://www.tempo-topaz-performance.com/topazsho/
