i know what you mean my friend has a 1995 svt cobra on 150 wet and after like 200 passes on the spray piston number 3 cracked a nickle sized nic out of it and some how the exaust valve was open when it happend and it shot out the exaust, didnt even scratch the cylinder wall.

you go a pretty good list going there haha. what do you plan on for internals, and how many passes with your 150 shot do you have on that engine?

1nstysnake

remembering that the car has been in storage for 3 years was the last time the gt was sprayed i probaly made 15 to 20 passes with the 150 shot and 2 of those passes were at the track, it pulled 11.96@113.99 mph 1/4 mile 1.60 sixty foot..

the internals idk yet i want to build something different as far as the bottom end i was thinking je pistons or mahle pistons, if any body has some good ideas that would be great.
the top end i was thinking some patriot perfomance stage 2,3 heads
but my friends say the pi head with a port job and cams, cam gear,and valve springs from patriot would be the same as the staged heads being there about the same and the pi heads are aluminum?

IMHO - get a rotating assembly from Tymensky at Modular Performance as he will put a proper piston notch in it for a real nitrous cam.

Ported PI heads are all you need, Patriots are ported PI heads. You fry a TFS head under boost and have to replace it your pocketbook will not be happy. Plus nitrous/boost is the great equalizer when it comes to head flow, the more nitrous/boost you have the more you really need reliability rather than some monster flow number.

Edelbrock intake is the best for a nitrous car as it doesn't have the plenum on the bottom holding a load of liquid waiting for the next backfire.

I know a few people building these combos now, 7000RPM on the juice with that intake is a seriously fast car.

im building a 5.4 right now for my 01 mustang this is my second build. i also love nitrous there are alot of different combination out there it is definatly confusing and everyone has ideas. your just going to have to take it all in root thru all the bull**** and decide for yourself it has been difficult for me there is so much info out there. i went with manely h beams manely 12to1 pistons and a forged crank. comp cam stage three 278s, trick flow heads,ported.edlebrock intake, sullivan elbow, and twin 64 cobra throttle body. iam going to be spraying a 200 shot on a plate any more than that i believe would have to be a direct port system that i might do with a two stage 200 thru the direct port and 100 thru the plate i would be happy to offer up any ideas i have been working on this new build for about three months now and have gathered alot of info and my last build was a 4.6 still have some parts left i pushed her a little to hard had a d-1 on it and a 200 shot still picking up the pieces i hope to be making about around 500 horsepower at the crank and close to 575 tork and than some n/a. with this new build. lol.

99BlackPonyGT

yes

5sp04GT

just so im clear the trickflows flow better but dont hold up as well with boost as the patriots do. patriots r more reliable in that case is what you r sayin? i ask becuz this is in the future for me as well.... ideally lol

mark a rittenhouse

i dont think that is what he is saying,trick flows a better head but more exspensive if you have to replace one of them. i think ha. ha.
