I am really interested in getting some nitrous for my 94 gt. If I run a 100
shot with my stang which is now running 14.7 @ 95 mph what roughly would it
run after this mod? And would it be worth the risk with a stock engine? Or
should I get some 24 pound injectors or mass air? Nitrous would is so cheap
but scares me so much. I dont wanna have a car im paying off with no engine.

With a 100 shot I would expect it to run AT LEAST 103-105mph. My friend runs
the 75hp NOS stage 1 kit. His car (88GT) runs 102mph naturally aspirated (his
is an exceptionally well-running stock motor) and 109-110mph with the juice.
This is through stock heads as well! It seems that stock 5.0 mustangs respond
very well to a modest stage 1 kit (75-100hp).

>Nitrous would is so cheap

The days of an unreliable nitrous setup are over. NOS has a great stage 1 kit
(the one my friend has) and I highly recommend this kit for your car. It will
not hurt your engine provided the engine is not burning oil and is given enough
fuel for the nitrous. I believe this stage 1 kit automatically ramps up the
fuel pressure when the juice is on. I'm not sure if 24lb/hr injectors are an
absolute necessity for this kit. My opinion is that the stock 19lb/hr
injectors are good for a stock 225hp mustang. I would go with either 24 or
even 30lb/hr (to allow for future mods) injectors. Also, buy a good in-tank
fuel pump, say a 190 or 255 liter per hour pump.

Good Luck!

Kick ass Andre! Thats a sweeet time and an amazing comparison to stock. What
did you pay for you setup? You buy it from mopac? Cant wait for the track
next year maybe ill be on the juice as well and we can run eachother. Oh man

A 100 SHOT OF NITROUS SHOULD TAKE OFF ABOUT .7 SECONDS OFF YOUR ET AND GIVE
YOU 10MPH IN THE QUARTER. THE 94 HAS HYPERNETIC PISTONS SO YOU DO NOT WANT
TO SPRAY OVER 125 HP SHOT. TO HELP THE SAFETY MARGIN USE AUTOLITE 24 SPARK
PLUGS THEY ARE ONE HEAT RANGE COOLER PLUG. ALWAYS RUN PREMIUM FUEL WHEN
USING NITROUS TO PREVENT DETONATION. DEPENDING ON WHICH NITROUS SYSTEM YOU
GO WITH YOU MAY ALSO HAVE TO RETARD YOUR TIMMING BACK TO STOCK IF YOU HAVE
ADVANCED IT. TIMMING SHOULD BE SET STOCK FOR SPRAY. IF HAVE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS E-MIAL ME AT Rdig...@juno.com

I know Van. He races in the same club as me here in Houston. Actually he
had a poorly tuned 125 shot and lost his #2 piston. If you get it tuned
correct and do not try to use to much then you will be ok with it.

I was gonna e-mail Van and ask him what he thinks the problem was.
Cuz I've made about 30 passes at 125 HP without a hitch and my plugs
look good. But i've heard many stories of "The first 50 runs were
smooth then one day.. BAM"..

So what did he do wrong?... what does nitrous "tuning" entail? The
only thing I have done is got the in-line fuel pump, colder copper
plugs, and the MSD RPM switch. What else can I tune besides getting a
chip to retard my timing? I run 94 octane fuel...

Ahh yeah next year for sure. Yeah I got all the parts from Mopac. MY
13.6 run was with bald street tires, got a 2.2X 60 foot time (ouch!).
Guess what's in my garage waiting to be unleashed? 16x7.5 Weld
Prostars with Nitto Extreme Drag Radials. That should put me in the
12s baby!

Are you sure you want to get the chip? I've heard it's several hundred
bucks and is limited to a particular timing setting but you can adjust
the timing with the steeda timing adjuster which is cheaper and allows
to bary the timing. Here's where it's described:
