I want to start spraying but dont know a thing about it.

1. what is the biggest shot I can safely do with my setup?

2. what is the cheapest kit that is still safe?

3. is there a system that is backfire proof? (i like my pi intake)

4. i would also like to have it work between say 2700 - 5800 rpm is this called a window switch?

5. can i have it set up in stages for different gears? how does that work?

6. what gears should i run with this setup, 3.73, 4.10?

7. Will i need to upgrade the fuel pump? i have a 98, can i just install an inline to suplement the stocker? what about fuel injectors?

8. I basicaly want to know what is the minimum that i need to be safe, cheaper is better if its still safe!

THANKS! :SNSign:

I am no N2O expert but if you are worried about your intake the only true safe system is direct port. I would only spray a 75 dry shot, a 100 wet shot and 150 direct port. Wet shot is probably the best choice if you are worried about cost they run about $700 on average with no fuel upgrades needed. Dry shot is alittle less but you will need some fuel upgrades. Direct port runs about $1200 to $1400.

Thanks, keep it coming!
Does anyone know what this will do to my torque and horsepower curves respectively? I currently have
291.7 rwhp @ 5227
343.2 rwtq @ 3748
both numbers are corrected and taken from a mustang dyno

1. On a stock bottom end I wouldnt go above a 125 shot wet or dry. I would go with a wet shot.

2. There are a variety of kits out there with varying prices. I feel direct port is overkill on a stock bottom end as from I have seen engines start letting go at 150 which is right where puddling issues also start. NX, ZeX, NOS all make good kits.

3. No. Backfires from what I have seen are measured in how much restraint the user shows. Example: Nitrous burnouts are high risk.

4. Correct that is a window switch and is a very good idea.

5. Yes you can get multistage systems or you can get progressive nirtous controllers. Multi-stages use multiple 'pills' which vary the amount of spray. For example: None in first -> 50 in second -> 100 in third. Progressive controllers are measured in time and are fluid I beleive but you can read up on that.

6. I wouldnt go larger than 3.73's. Even with DR's I have to feather it off the launch. The instant TRQ is amazing and quite addictive.

7. For below a 125 shot I am not sure its completely necessary. I have dynoed mine 3 times and havnt seen it lean out yet even on a 1100psi pull. That being said you cant really be too safe and fuel pumps arent that expensive.

8. You need one step colder plugs. Always run premium fuel. Tune is a good idea however I am running stock timing and fuel with no issues. Maintain constant bottle pressure. GET IT DYNOED TO ENSURE PROPER A/F.

(And you may want to upgrade your floorpans) <--joke

I would guess you will see ~525 TRQ. Which of course is the only number that matters.

A lot of people have recommended the MSD window switch. You can buy it at summit racing.

I dig this kit alot Nitrous Express's new Ford 4.6L 2V plate system.
Part#20946
All you really need then would be.
1.MSD Digital window switch
2.NX Bottle heater
3.wide open throttle switch
4.Electric bottle opener (option)
5.Purge/blowdown
6.NGK TR6's (colder plugs)
7.Fuel pump (if you plan on spraying 100 shot or more) Walbro 255.
8.Dyno tune and a wideband dyno run to see where you are.
9.You can run up to 150hp shot on your stock bottom end.
10.Detonation will kill your engine the fastest!
