Safe Nitrous level??

[DetroitMuscle15]

Iam getting a 99+ Mustang GT in a few months and i cant spend big on mods.......I can spend a few here and there for minor bolt-ons but i want Nitrous.....Will it be safe and will my engine last long if i got a 125 shot kit or should i keep it low because i dont want my to shorten my engine life that much

Only 125hp shot? Go all out and get a 400hp shot! Your motor can handle it no problem. Launch at 5k rpms..and as soon as you drop the clutch..spray your nawzzzzz!

I am with dampachi, why limit yourself

ahahhahaha....ehhh.....ahhahahhaha.
Yea the mustang's engine is virtually indestructable (unless you dont add water to your gas tank then it will blow.)

In my suggestion: Buy 3 125 kits, so you have a 375 shot (400 might be pushing the indestrucatble motor) and add some hot water to your gas tank before going out. Should be good for about 660rwhp, unless you use water + salt in tank, then about 760rwhp.

Go with a 50 shot, and jet your way up. Every 50, retard 1*.

common guys be serious..............Id figure since Dampachis gonna have around 350-400HP...a nice 125 shot of Nitrous will at least enable me to pace him for a few seconds

125 is safe. 150 can be done but is pushing it. Both need a tune. However, he would beat you with either.

I think you'll be very safe with a 125 shot. 150 is about as high as I would push it, and stay away from the wet kits stick with the dry shots.

I would beg to differ. From the research I did when I considered spray, alot more problems come from dry kits then wet. Also, with recent growing technology from high end companies (such as NOS), wet-nozzles are more preventative to "puddle-ing" then the older wet kits were (which is why most shyed from them)

Why?

[dampachi]

If you ran drag radials..and a 150hp shot..And you had a good launch and then used your nitrous..you may be able to pull ahead until I get traction. I will be running street tires..possibly nitto 555s.

why 125 is safe? That is a modest amount to run without putting to much wear on the engine.
why 150 max? It is probally about the highest level you can do without running into major internal problems.
why dry kit? Matter of opinion.

Why dry kit

I thought wet was safer?

Yeah iam definitly gonna consider a 125 shot. i will be puttin around 380HP and iam "decent" at launching but i probally wont be usin drag radials so once Tim gets traction im toast.....oh well

at the wheels? No...
The 99+ Gts are rated at 260hp (03-04 might be like 265), but that is at the crank, at the wheels you can look forward to drivetrain loss.
