ok, so basically, after my exhaust system and cosmetics are done on the mustang, i need to look at performance, because i work at an autoparts store i have accesibility to EXTREMELY cheap holley NOS nitrous systems. i was wondering what i need to do to my cars stock 302 engine to handle a large ( 150-250 shot) of nitrous, what is required, if there is too many internals taht need to be changed than i will stick to a 100 shot,

how many miles? u have an 84 they have aluminum pistons; not very strong.

maybe someone who knows 84's a little better can chime in.

i know the 87-93 302's can handle 150 shots no problem.

I'd run a 100 shot, get colder plugs and lower your timing. What auto parts store do you work at?

Not too sure about the aluminium pistons bit, but they definently do not have forged internals like the later model Mustangs did. I would difinently be careful about how much you run. Even a little bit of spark knock with NO2 involved can burn up your pistons. A 100 shot should be too much. Just make sure that if you're still running a carbed motor to richen up the secondary side of the carburator and to buy a WOT kit rather than a pushbutton kit. This will also save your motor.

Some more information would help. Engine mods? Carb type? Carb model (on a Holley it's on the choke horn)? This would help me tell you how to richen up your fuel mixture sefficiently
