Default Nitrous on a 4.6

So I have a 99 Mustang GT with all the bolt on's except for TB/Plenum. After I get that I plan on getting a nitrous setup. My question is, can the stock fuel injectors/pump handle a 75 shot (dry) or will I need to upgrade my injectors/pump?

You'll want a wet shot, not a dry. Your injectors should be fine. Try getting it tuned without a pump upgrade and see if it works out ok. If not, you can get a 255 lb. SVT Focus pump for fairly cheap.

Good luck!

I am probably going to go with a wet kit anyway, but would the stock pump/injectors be able to handle a 75 dry shot?

Do not pass go, do not collect $200. And re-read my previous message.

And spend the money for a window switch, and set it for 3000rpms to activate the nitrous if you're running a wet kit.

I would go with a wet kit as well, but these days there are good reliable dry kits on the market. I have no first hand knowledge in 2V nitrous applications so i will not comment on the injectors/ fuel pump. Someone with ACTUAL experience please chime in.

Use a wet kit with all the necessary safety hardware and a window switch, you might need a better fuel pump (my car did).

This may come off as a noob question, but i have never messed with N2O so here it goes.

What is the major diff between wet and dry N2O kits?? Like i said, dont flame me as i have never used/been around either.
Not trying to hijack thread by the way. just curious.
