Im htinking about going w/ nitrous instead of headswap. After looking in the catalog Compucar has a kit for 4.6 for only $450 It is adjustable from 75,90,125. And then NOS has there 15o shot for $650. Which will be better. Is the NOS kit really worth an extra $200? What else do i need for nitrous other than a bottle warmer and purge kit?

in a couple words, a lot...
ummm, remote opener is nice, all the hoses, and wiring, solenoids, etc. i would go with the NOS kit, it is VEY complete, and a nice kit to boot, not too bad pricewise, you may be able to find it cheaper

So is the compucar kit not complete! I remember a few months ago in mm&ff they put a NOS kit part#5171 on a 96-98 gt and they said it was pretty straight forward! How much did you pay for your kit? And do you have any pic of the installmotor,and bottle?

Nitrous Express. Best kit there is. Will cost you $550 from nitrousoutlet.com or you can probably find a good deal on ebay.

Not bad at all... only if you want all that stuff though. You really don't need the opener or the fuel pump though. If you want to spray a large shot, then maybe you'd need the fuel pump. Only way to know is to get on the dyno.

Click to expand...

A WOT switch, RPM window switch, fuel pressure saftey switch, and a nitrous pressure gauge are important.

What size shot are you planning?

BTW RacerGT: I posted my dyno sheets in our other topic in Talk for my 100 shot dry to show the 100 rwhp and 210 rwtq I gained. later

A little but does anyone leave the nitrous bottle inside the car? Like hidden behind the front seats? Its not dangerous, is it? I might do nitrous in the future and I'd like it inside the car so I could turn off the bottle in an emergency. I don't wanna have to trust a remote opener.

Sure you can. You need what's called a blow down tube so if the bottle gets too hot the access nitrous can vent to outside the vehicle.

NX wet kit is the only way to go.
For the BEST prices on the net go to mustangx.com
If you can find a better deal on the net he will price match them.
I'll be installing my NX wet kit in about three to four weeks.
