as long as its getting enough fuel, you can spray whenever you want. And its easy on the motor if you keep it to 100hp or below.

100 shot or less with atune, a window switch, and a WOT switch and you can spray until you get tired of spraying. People will tell you nitrous is not good for your engine, and technically they are right. What they don't tell you is superchargers and turboswill decrease engine lifeas well. Heck, redlining a stock block with not power adder is not good for your engine either. The key with anything is to be smart about it. Don't let the guys that have never had nitrous talk you out of it. It is awesome!

I've run nitrous on every mustang I've ever owned with no problems. I would get a window switch if I were you. On a 125 shot my tires broke loose one time and the engine hit the rev limiter before I could get my foot off the gas. It backfired through the intake so hard that it mushroomed my k&n and blew the carbon screen out of the maf. If you have a standard then get a window switch for sure. It'll cut the nitrous off at what rpm you want it to.

well this isnt the time to tell you that n02 isnt the best thing you could have put on your motor if your worried abotu blowing it
and i suppose this isnt the time to tell you that the correct symbol is N2O. if you dont know nitrous, dont chime in. nitrous has a bad rep...but used responsibly can be just as good as a supercharger (possibly even better cuz of all the torque it offers). the problem is people are dumb when they use it. and then theres movies like fast and the furious. most nitrous systems dont run off a button like in the movie. you arm it and go, its usually activated at WOT. dont mean to bash on you...just a lot of people comment who know nothing about it.

if you do research and get the necessary safety equipment (bottle warmer, purge, window switch, etc etc...you should be fine). oh...and never jet in 5th gear. ever.

your stang pulls and pulls and pulls, until you top out only god knows when. Mine went 145 in 4th on spray so id say itd be moving fast. Most people dont spray in 5th because that gear would be the hardest on the engine out of all of them. They run good so races are already over before you need 5th.[8D]
