Default stock 5.0, can i go nitrous?

just looking for cheap ways to make power, my 95 gt has 130k on it, runs great though, smog pump is gone, it has headers, and flowmasters, but thats it other than i just gave it a tune up and k&n, how much and what kind of nitrous would be best for my stock 5.0? i dont really care if i blow it up because its just my toy and i know where i can get a motor cheap, are there any other things i can do that are cheap for more power?

if you dont care about blowing it then go for it. the biggest risk is running it without good enough fuel injectors/pump so you lean out.

That's why you'r best off running a wet kit.....and I'd start with a 75 shot and then try a 100 after that..start low and see how the car esponds and see if it leans out at all...I wouldn't go more than a 125 or 150 cause when you get upwards of 150 to really have to dial the car in make sure it's not to lean ..pull some timing out and possibly a step or two colder on the plugs

Do a 75 wet shot, retard timing 2* and see how it responds. From there it's just jets.

it threw 2 rods because the oil pump siezed.... as a matter of fact,when i pulled the heads it looked to be running perfectly with the nitrous.... very very clean... enough so that im spraying my motor when its back together

Dime I only push your buttons because i get a reaction out of it, would you keep picking on your brother if he didn't care?? probably not..... but you would if he kept getting mad right????probably so.... so see theres the simple explanation to this situation, so no this is not the end of the discussion.
