Default should I spray it???

I have a 96 gt, tb, plenum o/r h pipe 40 series flows and a cai.

im still slow and it seems that FI or N2O are the only choices other than droppin a whole bunch of coin on a pi head swap. I see a ton of dry kits from various companies for about $500

keep in mind I have 120k on it but no mechanical flaws, uses about a quart of oil every 3000.

I intend on replacing this motor with a pi motor out of a wrecked gt eventually so im not REALLY concerned that it last too long. "would you spray it" and if so what kit/power level would you use

THanks "G"

Nope, I wouldn't, but that's not saying you can't. Just wait until you get the new motor.

Or put a 75 shot on this one.

I'm thinkin about doin the same thing on about the same car with the same miles... check out the venom kit from mustangtuing....it would be the safest route cuz it is computer controlled for your throttle and it is a wet shot... on sale for about 550

burning oil doesn't neccessarily mean it's weak. More than likely, it's like mine and is burning it at the valve stem seals... which have no bearing on strength really

i'd say spray it, but start with a small shot and get it tuned if you really want it to last...

i too am planning on a new engine... run this one into the ground first tho haha

Spray it, just be safe. Get a window switch and fuel pressure gauge.

Wet is safer than dry, dry relies on the computer and we all know what the computer can do at times. 75 shouldnt hurt anything if its set up correctly.

I would agree to an extent, however, buring oil lowers your octane rating. You'll be more likely to ping.

I don't consider 1qt every 3000 miles excessive burning oil though. Thats about normal.

I say do it!
