Well I was wondering, my buddy wants to get nitrous for his 1989 Mustang LX notch 5.0 V8. I wanna kno how much a stock 302 motor can hold. How much nitrous can you put into a 302 V8? Dry shot or Wet. What do you recommend?. Thanks,

what do i recommend? none period, but thats me, someone else might be able to help you out, nitrous on a stock motor is not a good idea.

ask this question in the pipes boost and juice section. you will get a lot better response there. but for my 2 cents, a 100 wet shot is safe.

i wouldnt go any more than 75-100 shot

Well, its a dry 100shot, he is going to jet it at 75. will it be safe?

I see a lot of posts by you agaist using nitrous, and I have to ask, do you have any experiance using it? Also can you tell me why a small shot woth all the proper safty features is a bad idea on a stock motor?

Tims 88GT

no i have never used it, and i never will, but i do know if you dont tune the motor right then you can have a big problem eveyone here knows i am not a fan of nitrous, there are better ways of making power IMO. but that is why i said someone else may be able to help him out.

i would say 75 just to be on the safe side and make sure its tuned properly

I ran 200-250hp on my 148k mile shortblock for a long time from a nozzle. It never got hurt. It's now in another car and sees 150-175 regularly. My GT saw 200-225 on a 2 stage kit from the previous owner for 9-10 years. He was spraying that much back in high school (1995). I just bought it from him in November. The stock motor finally starting losing oil pressure at 250k+ miles. It's got 263k on the chassis now. Several of my friends have run 300hp through plates on stock shortblocks but the push a lot of headgaskets. Nitrous doesn't hurt motors; detonation does. Bring the fuel and spray it down. Anything less than 150 is a tail wind.

75hp shot with stock fuel pump and 125hp shot on high volume fuel pump. on stock motor is SAFE yeah i know people who sprayed 175 on stock motor with 155lph fuel pump for well over a year. but the norm would be 125hp in my opinion.
