nitrous ox

I am currently looking into a nitrous system, i don't know what to get nor i'm not sure what my engine can handle, whats better for a 1989 mustang 5.0 with all stock parts and 115k miles on it. Should i aim for a wet or dry system and how big of a shot. I don't know if i should get a ZEX system because they are supposed to be "smart" or should go with somthing tradioninal like NOS which sets the standard and hows the best way to hid them

First off, I don't think it's too good an idea to spray your car.
Because with 115k miles, the rings are going to be worn.
Secondly, ZEX is garbage. If you want a GOOD nitrous system, so with a TNT Wet or Dry kit. Doesn't matter, each has their upside and downside. Dry, you can't spray as much and you could run lean and go boom. Wet, you could blow your manifold from fual puddling in the intake tract.

Just go with simple bolt ons for now. Buy some headers, a slipt duration cam, then save up for a rebuild. Have new pistons put in with new rings. Then, spray the fuck outta your car and have fun.

I just don't think it would be too smart to spray a motor that has that many miles on it...Like a ticking timebomb.

As much as I hate to agree with a GM owner Blackbird is right. Spend you rmoney on rebuilding your engine or maybe gettin a 351. Build it up and put some nice heads on it and you will get the more HP gains as you would from the NOS shot you could run on that car and have that HP all the time not only when your bottle is filled.

ALL THROTTLE NO BOTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea, my friend said that that an engine rebuild for a '89 5.0 would only cost about 600 or so, his friend got it for 700. what exactly consist of a engine rebuild? and should i go with dry or wet for a nitto kit?
