Would My Shelby Be Ok With Nitrous?

1967ShelbyGT500 · June 18th, 2006, 04:43 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, 12:32 PM

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

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

Yeah I'm holding up the B.S. flag on this one too...

drgnracin72 · June 18th, 2006, 01:40 PM

id drive the shit out of it but i wouldnt put n2o on the motor. i belive cars were made to be driven not to sit were no one can see them. id drive the shit out of but would seriosly do nothing that could further harm the engine or the car itself

..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..

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
