Would My Shelby Be Ok With Nitrous?

1967ShelbyGT500 · June 18th, 2006, 05:43 AM

I wouldnt mind hookin nitrous up to my shelby but im not sure if it would handle it.

Could someone help?

What are the specs on the engine? Even a stock engine with cast parts can handle alittle shot (100 hp), but to go much more you should have forged pistons at least, and forged rods are a good idea.

I would think if someone owned a GT 500 they would know quite a bit about cars and how much the motor would take. But thats just me.

and is it a real shelby? if its a real shelby, dont touch that fucker. leave it how it is and drive it like that and buy something else to beat the shit out of!!!

White99stang · June 18th, 2006, 01:32 PM

exactly, that thing would be parked inside a damn vault and not driven except to car shows

mdvaldosta · June 18th, 2006, 01:47 PM

Hell, I'd whore that thing out like a French hooker. You only live once.

Drgnracin72 · June 18th, 2006, 02:40 PM

..i think mine has forged pistns but im only saying what i heard MAY be true w the 89 lx 5os.. does anyone know how I could find out (using my vin number or somthing) whether mine has them..? im pretty sure its a stock engine intrnally.. i had it since @45k miles and never touched the inside..

btw, i have nos 125 and it has held up strong w no problems over the years..

Dombrent

back when i got it (late nineties) they had a kit to buy for it.. then i replaced a jet (little piece of the spray nozzle like..) and it went from 75 to 125 shot i think).. they should make base kits still for em..

good luck! :wink
