I have a 96 GT, it has about 85k miles on it. I Don't have the money for a supercharger, or a new engine for that matter, so I was thinking about juicing it this winter. I was thinking that if I went with a 75 shot my engine would be able to run it without out having to get the 4.6 pumped for it. Any suggestions or comments?

 

From what I've heard, a 75-shot is safe on a stock 4.6 engine. Some say you can go to 100, but I personally wouldn't go past 75 on a stock engine.

 

Agreed. 75 shot is your best bet. I have seen a guy run a 150 shot on his stock motor at the track. he lost his purge solniod in the stagging lane. He still sprayed and the motor went boom. Leaned out for a split second. Just a downside of nitrous.

 

Anyone who says that you can't spray a 125 shot to your car has no clue. Right now I am jetted for a 125 with an NOS NOSzle kit. You do want to upgrade the fuel pump though

 

If you run slicks on your car, with a 75 shot or more you will need to get new axles

 

That's not true either. I know some people's break and some don't. I have run on a 10" slick and had no issues as of yet with stock axles. That doesn't mean that I suggest it. You can run a 125 shot with stock axles. Just don't think they will hold up forever.

 

<FONT size=2>I've always heard that if you use nitrous, it's just a matter of time before you "hand grenade" your engine. Is this true? Does prolonged use of nitrous shorten the life of your engine by a lot? Maybe I'm just misinformed.</FONT>

 

As with any power adder you are going to have the chance to blow something up. As long as you tune the car right N2O can be your friend for a very long time.

Yeah just check on the condition of them, you wouldn't wanna try it if there in really rusted bad condition.</P>

 

That applies to juicing off the line ** i would imagine it would take it down the track without a problem.... i run 10 inch slicks on my car as well
