RE: nitrous???
Definitely get the xcal2. I would start with CAI and a tune, following that if you want more, then get the juice. I wouldn't go over a 100 shot. You can run a 75 shot with the stock ford tune and retarding the timing with the xcal2.

RE: nitrous???
I know a guy that has two track seasons under his belt with nitrous, and his car is fine. It's in the tune, and also the self control not to get greedy. He's been running the 100 shot for 1.5 seasons. Illegal, no offense, but you make these cars sound like the SSM voodoo article. The one that said the 4.0 will break if you put any power adder on it. I do agree, the 75 shot is pretty bullet proof.

RE: nitrous???
lol at the SSM comment...seriously though, its true that 75 is almost foolproof...but i would never go beyond that personally...whenever I have seen someone go to 100 or 125 its always ended badly...not necessarily detonation but in some way or another it has contributed to the car's demise...

RE: nitrous???
Just something i found out today. There is some sort of addon they put in nitrous now so people cant get high off of it. I was told if you use it its like putting battery acid through your engine. Dunno if thats only here in CA or everywhere.
