I am new to the mustang scene, and I know the 93 5.0 has weaker pistons since they are not forged, but I want to hear from 93's running nitrous and find out if you have ever had any problems with the juice. I see this as the fastest/easiest way to add 75 - 100 hp or so, so i am seriously considering this mod. Thank you.

there was just a big thread about this less than a week ago. you will be told that it is fine and the pistons are not as weak as everyone thinks and its all in the tune. many people run nitrous on the hyper pistons and have no problems. colder plugs, fuel pump, lower timing, race gas will help you out a lot too

Daniel has it right. A small unit with the right plugs, timing, and fuel will run just fine. The big decision that you need to make is between dry and wet systems.

I have a 93GT and back in the day when I was running nitrous I made almost 200 passes on a 150 shot of nitrous without a problem. This is with a completely stock bottom end. I even got a bit greedy and ran a 175 shot and still not a problem. But, if you stick with a 150 shot or less, stay conservative with your tune such as FP and timing and running a colder plug you will be just fine.
