how much nitro........300 shot but only once or twice.......then you split the block or you have to pick the crank up off the ground.....stock pistons 150........hope for no backfires.......100shot will live a long and happy life(stock pistons) if tuned.

so far i've experimented with 150 and 200 jets on my car,i have a nx wet kit i'm going to put a 250 shot on it soon and see how it act's i have a built stroker motor with 9 2 1 pistons ...my main concern is traction not damaging my motor,my buddy has made 10 passes on a pretty much stock 302 with a 250 shot and its held so far but it's only a matter of time before it blow's,i think he wants it to so he has a excuse to rebuild lol

What is your goal? Run as fast as you can or run as fast as you can reliably? If you want it fast and be easy on parts, get a good igniton box and spray around 100-150. If you have a 5 speed I would get a rpm window switch also.

It is a switch that will activate and deactivate the nitrous at whatever rpm you choose. EFI intakes on Mustangs were designed to only have air go through them, so when you use a wet kit nitrous and fuel are injected into the intake. If there isn't enough flow through the intake, rpm below 3000 (general rule), then the fuel cold puddle up and cause an explosion. Then if you are powershifting and miss a gear, it happens to the best of us, you want the spray off before your rev-limiter kicks in. On MSDs it randomly cuts spark to cylinders so if a cylinder is cut off then the engine makes another revolution filling that cylinder again with nitrous, fuel, and air. Then the plug fires, bye bye head gaskets!

Thanks 92greygt I did not know.....my system is a carb. and has a micro switch which turns the system on at full throttle......but someone may have set it up to come on at 3/4 throttle.....I may look into that switch thanks again....
