I was watching Muscle Car on TV and they did a segment on the Mustang Blocks cracking from Nitrous/SC the block will actually twist and crack, the fix was some supports under the intake Manifold that run side to side after you drill a 1/4 hole for some alignment pins. Anyone see that?
That was for the windsor block, not the cologne block (4.0 V6) so does not apply to us. Very cool though. The stock 5.0 is good for about 500 to the rear wheels, but with those supports, you can push it to 900 supposedly. Interesting.

So, whats your opinion (or maybe fact) on nitrous and the V6? Can the V6 handle a NOS kit? If so, which kit do you recommend? If not, why?

I have the X-Charger now, but I was curious if my car would be able to handle a NOS kit. Or if it was only meant for the V8s.
Navbtcret already got a bottle on his Xcharger, he ran 12.36 last weekend with a 75 shot, and a AF of 10.5ish. Car has more in it, he just has to get the gearing dialed in a little more.
Is there any video of this...I love drag racing videos of the 4.0 and especially x-charged

Thats correct.

@YT,

You don't need forged pistons to run nitrous. You can run the 75 or 100 shot on our cars with a good tune.
