if you are talking a sneaky peat system is is all or nothing, you cannot adjust it. you will be safe up to about 250 if you get a wet kit. i dont suggest a dry kit at these power levels (anything over 100) as it is is pushing the stock injectors past there safe duty limits. a wet kit simply hooks up to the stock fuel rail on the engine so its no harder to hook up than a dry kit, its safer, much more adjustable, and alows for a higher power level. any of the kits you find on the market will make big power. the zex makes the least and the nx made the most as far as 5.0 kits a few years ago when mm&ff tested them.

Im going with a NX carb plate system, its a wet kit and im going to be spraying a 175 shot.

Sneaky pete's are ok, but those small bottles last no time. I would go with a regular kit and maybe hide the larger bottle in a fake speaker box in the trunk and the main thing to worry about is under the hood, where your running the lines and solienoids. As long as everything under the hood is hidden nicely, most people wont ask to look in the hatch/trunk. But you have to really know how to hide the lines under the hood to keep it on the low down. No fancy braided lines, etc. Everything has to look un-conspicuous as possible and still keep things safe.

Don't blame the nitrous kit because your tune was off.

There is a reason the most mustang wet kits are only jetted to 125. That is because the stock fuel pump cannot keep up........
