I know don't say it check the forums. i have and done a significant amount of searching over the past 3 days and haven't found the exact answers im searching for. First off Does anyone have any recomendations for Nitrous for a 2000 V6 Convertible Mustang? What are the limitations to putting power to my 3.8L and also where should I stop as far as the amount of nitrous and HP increase to run on my COMPLETLY STOCK MOTOR. Ive found some info but cant really find the V6 limitations of power in stock form basically. I should reword this basically how much power can the v6 handle before u have to go into internal mods? So any advice is needed because im comepltly clueless but I dont want to get the wrong kit or a blow my engine up cus I used a 75 instead of 50 or w/e. Anyways thx for the help guyz please! And what else besides the kit should I get? any other mods to go with this? Thx guyz.

I wouldn't go over a 50 hp shot on a totally stock motor without a tune for nitrous, one that would retard the timing. A 25 - 50 hp dry kit is what I would use. A dry kit is the safest, cheapest and easiest way to gain hp. I would still run higher octane gas and colder spark plugs though because any detonation at all can kill an engine real fast.

do not use a dry kit without a tune on a 99 or newer car , you have no way to properly add extra fuel , on an older model you can use a 5.0 or 4.6 kit that adds a nitrous line to the fuel pressure regulator to spike the fuel pressure which in turn adds fuel , but on the newer returnless cars you can not do that .......on a 99 or newer car a wet kit is the only way to add fuel , and you dont want to go over 50 HP without a tune to retard the timing , either way stock heat range copper core plugs gapped at .035 will be fine

I've used wet shots before in racing when you're adding 150 hp shots but for a street car a dry shot is much safer. The only solenoid that can fail then is the nitrous and if does nothing happens.
