nitrous on a stock fox DD
while browsing thru the threads i found this - https://mustangforums.com/m_5054872/tm.htm
I have the same car, alot of them are saying gears tires suspension....thats good but a few are saying nitrous as well ... dont you have to do engine work like pistons and stuff in order to "safely" (and i use that word loosly) spray your car.. i mean he said its his DD, as is mine, and he wanted it to be reliable...wouldnt nitrous hurt its reliability after being sprayed a few times? ...
im asking cuz i have been contemplating the first things i should do to mine with about $3000 (other than a paint job) as well. thanks in advance for your feedback

ok i will start by saying that nitrous will not hurt your motor the person abusing it will hurt the motor if any thing it will help it by clening out some carbon and what not its all in how you use it and how well you tune it talk to nitrous_bob he has had nitrous on 3 fox bodys and one was stock and he has had no prob

If you have the 3k for whatever, why not go for some bolt ons, exhaust/intake if you wana splurge on a shorter fan belt you can do the smog pump bypass, that should free up some HP and give you a few more MPG's

I would strongly suggest against nitrous on a true daily driver, factory set-up bottomend.
To much volatility, whether tuned great or not.

In my younger years I used to work as pizza delivery driver, driving an 88lx vert with nitrous and some other mods. That car went through hell but held up fine. I'm still using the same, never rebuilt longblock in my 84 car. If you have an 87-92 car with the factory forged pistons the motor ought to hold up fine as long as everything is in good running order and you've upgraded the fuel pump.
The transmission is another story though. A T5 is rated to handle what, like 265 lb/ft of torque? Even on a little shot you're going to be pushing 400 lb/ft. Probably have the same problem with an AOD. You WILL break it.
Either get good at rebuilding trannies or spend some big money on something stout.
I chose to learn how to rebuild a T5.

why i would rather have a nitrous dd then a supercharged or turbo one . nitrous you can turn off and save on gas then whenyou whant to go fast you can hit it the other 2 you can not and r alwase tempted to hit the gas cuz the power is alwase which is what brings down your mpg with nitrous heck you can even take it out if you dont whant to be tempted just my and the stock bottom end will can take a 125 shot no prob just my .02

To have a "safe tune", the car will typically run less than ideal for N/A.
If you cannot control your foot, then that is your fault, not mine.
The "shock" and volatility of nitrous is just to much.
What comes on factory (reliable) cars?
- Nitrous?
- Superchargers?
- Turbos?
The latter two.

You and I think differently then.
