can i run nitrous on a stock 95 5.0 mustang. if so what is the max i should do. also if i should do dry or wet. thanks

Yes. 100 shot you will be fine, as far as wet or dry thats up to you. JFYI I run a wet kit.

you should run a dryshot so you dont have a problem with fuel puddling in the upper intake since its only designed to flow air but the exception to this is the NOS setup that
fits in between the upper and lower intake like a spacer.Yes its a bit pricey but its safer and much more precise cylinder to cylinder.as for power level 75-100hp should be fine since 93-95 5.0s dont have forged pistons

ok, thanks

Why dry shot? What about his stock pump and injectors?

Wet vs. Dry that qusetion has gone round and round forever. Either way you go as long as you are useing the proper equipment and staying on top of the tune you will be fine.

At the min get yourself a window switch, bottle heater, pressure gauge. Most kits already come with a WOT activation so you should be set there.

If ran correctly puddling with the wet kits is a non issue.

Whatever you decide, do your research first. Ask plenty of questions and you will have no problems. Check out the power adder section here and also check out this site plenty of info for ya. Nitrous Forum - Powered by vBulletin

are you sure about the sn95's not having forged pistons? I thought 93 was the only year they used the hypertunic (how ever you spell it) pistons..Its not an issue for me cause I have all new rotating assembly (forged 347)I honestly dont know for sure and am just curious and +1 on the wet vs. dry opal and definately keep up on the tune wouldnt go more than 1-150 and probably need to change fuel pump and get an afpr....all previously said...why is it that we all say last question when we know its definately not and I always say sorry to bother you but thats why we are all here to ask questions and to learn more

I was a Ford tech for 10 years. Trust me...it will take up to a 125 shot. I recommend going with a wet kit by Nitrous works. I sprayed my 94 5.0 for 2 years daily when the bottle was not empty ( started using nitrous when the stock block had over 100k ). I finally popped the headgaskets with a 150 hit. The stock fuel system could not keep up no damage to the internals though. Good luck!

True that I would run a dry kit because of what he said. IMO the only time I would run a wet kit is if the No2 and fuel are injected after the upper intake. I would not go over a 100 shot with a stock fuel system to be safe..

[Stangzilla]

Also if you have the fuel to support it I have a friend that ran a 200 shot with the hyper pistons. But he has a 255lph fuel pump and 24lb injectors.. The hyper pistons are not the problem. Inexperience with nitrous is..

93-95 5.0's had hyper pistons.. They are cheaper...

Fuel puddling of course is an issue, but even if you have the tune correct it does not matter if you have a solenoid fail. If the fuel solenoid fails you will not know until you hear that BOOM!! in the intake.. Dry kits are way safer for stock or mild modded setups & inexperienced users...

Ive done 150 with the stock fuel system, and stayed alive. It was discomforting to see the A/F so lean, but i was stupid back in those days. Anyways, it CAN be done with stock components.

Fuel puddling is an issue with LARGE amounts of Nitrous oxide with single nozzle, and TB plates systems. Your absolutely right, the plate systems under the upper intake are safe.. well, safer. Ive had problems with wet systems in the past, and even with them setup properly, and a proper tune.. i still lost intakes (this was with 150+ worth of N20) Ofcourse, the smaller the amount, the safer... but ive still had backfires even at 75hp. A window switch helps with low levels of Nitrous when sprayed wet. With higher levels... ive lost intakes at 5000rpm.. thats WITH the Nitrous already flowing since 3000rpm. 5000rpm is said to be perfectly safe, ive had obliterated intakes to prove otherwise. People say its safe, as long as you get the setup right, and the tune right. Well, i can tell you now, thats BS. Its safe with low amounts... start to get serious with it... and its only a matter of time, before you end up replacing a hood and top end. Dont believe me? Test it yourself... it may not happen the first, or second.. or third, fourth time... but it'll happen. Hell, its even happend to alot of the NMRA guys. Those guys know what they're doing.

You guys kill me. You make it sound like Nitrous is the devil. Guys have been running no2 wet or dry since the fox hit the floors back in the 80s and beyond. Either way you go wet or dry, there is always a risk of something going wrong. Hell even if your runnin a Blower your taking a chance of popin a head gasket and what not. These things are part of the game weather we like it or not. For every guy like Goblin who has had problems with wet kits, is another guy who has had no issues. Take it for what its worth there is always a possibility of sh!^ happning.

To the original poster, 100shot wet or dry will be fine for a stock 5.0.

[Goblin]

Nitrous isnt the devil, and im not inplying it is.

Take everything i say with a grain of salt. Ive said before in other posts, ive had positive results with wet systems, ive also had negative. Im passing along information about the negative aspects with wet single nozzle and TB plate systems with EFI. Ofcourse you can have problems with anything.. its the nature of this hobby, but some ideas and parts work better than others, and thats my point.

Thats why we are here to explain pros and cons.. Thats what its all about...
