numbers dont do anything but look pretty during bench races


wanna know how I feel about nitrous?


very nice man. I've always said the easiest way to double your power level is to start low.

seriously tho, those are some bad ass torque numbers




bah. 200 progressive shot on this beast!

thats very impressive for a 6 cylinder mustang! wow nice

426hp is fun, but you deal with the gas guzzling aspect even if you try and baby it all the time. Lightly modded 6's will retain their driving style, probably increase MPG slightly and still be able to romp around when asked. If you want fast right out of the box, and feel like dropping 4-10K more on the car depending on options, then SS's are an easy choice. If you enjoy a far more techie engine and think of the car as more of a sports coupe than a muscle car, the 6 is a no brainier.

I'm bias, turbo 6's FTW.

Don't get me wrong I'm getting the v-6. But to say I'll tromp on an 8 just by adding nitrus is at best disingenuous. What happens when the 8's do the same mod's ...... 700+ HP. All i'm looking at will be taillights.

I still have my old Marvin Miller set up from... about 30 years ago. It advertised 100 HP but an article said it was really about 75.

As far as I know, nobody has guinea pigged it yet.

had nitrous on my 1996 GT & 2000 Trans Am. Its not the HP that gets it moving but the almost double output of TQ when it hits. FUN FUN FUN!

hhhmmmmmm... well, if u people all chip in and buy it plus the installation cost I'll guinea pig the shit but low shots of course. Eh, gotta start somewhere... never used the stuff, when do you actually use it..? when your pedal to the metal so to speak or can u push this crap from the start? Someone please enlighten me with the damn joys of Nitrous

N2O install is pretty easy... just need to layout everything in advance and decide where you are going to mount every thing... really not a bad job at all...

When do you actually use it? At the track! LOL! I believe it is illegal to run on the street, at least in most states...

Now... when do you "activate" it... there are 2 main factor for when your system should "spray", 1. WOT and 2. RPMs.

You do not want to spray unless unless you are Wide Open Throttle. Spraying at part throttle with a wet system like the Zex can result in "pooling" which can lead to a N20 backfires.. which is a bad thing! With a "wet" system like the Zex you are spraying both N20 and gasoline into your intake. By being WOT, you are making sure you have enough "sucking" to pull all the gas into the motor...

Next you don't want to spray unless you are above a certain RPM level, usually want to be above 2500 RPMs at a minimum... maybe even closer to 3000 RPM. You may always want to stop spraying as you approach the redline... You use a "window switch" to control when the system should spray based on RPM... A lot of window switches can also be setup so you don't start spraying until say 2nd or 3rd gear..

Thing about N20 is it is very addictive.... you will start out with the small shot but soon you will be wanting more and more!

Thanks my friend for the lesson I had no clue with the stuff.

Couple of points.
Nitrous is not illegal to run on the street. It is illegal to buy medical grade nitrous. Which is why shops sell Nitrous+, which has a small amount of sulfer dioxide in it so it smells like rotten eggs to deter "sniffing" it. There is no performance difference between the 2 in you engine.

The Zex kits have a nifty management system that adjusts fuel delivery based on bottle pressure, so the ratio is always correct, and an electroic TPS switch so the unit activates only at WOT. Probably the easiest nitrous install out there.

First... I have great respect for your posts and all the great info you provide... but everything i see says that actually spraying on a public street is illegal... unfortunately I can't find anything solid to back that up... guess I will have to keep digging! LOL
