I'm just wondering what people thoughts were I'm thinking about putting nos on my 07 4.0

I'm against it but that's just me. Too many possibilities of significant damage, IMO.

Fixed your title - I assume you are considering adding a nitrous kit to your car, and not necessarily a NOS kit ("nawwzz" is the fast and furious term for nitrous, while NOS is a brand name of a nitrous kit, just like Zex is).

I had it on my 2006 - installed the Zex kit with a 75 shot. No problems at all, as long as you are tuned for it first, and use a window switch. With the Zex kit I found that it would read me at WOT very low in the RPM sometimes. It fired off as I was staging one night just bringing the RPM up to 1,500 - the Zex nitrous management unit decided that was close enough to WOT and fired. So get a window switch so that the nitrous can't spray until you get over 2,400 rpm.

Nitrous is not inherently dangerous. Used improperly, with no tune and no window switch is where guys get into trouble.

Also, nitrous is a track only power adder. You can't drive around with your nitrous armed all the time (if your state allows you to have nitrous hooked up on the street) because it will wear out the solenoids eventually. And the nitrous tune is a compromise - not great for daily driving but good for when the juice is flowing.

And that 2006 of mine had nitrous for 2 racing seasons, and lots of passes. At 90,000 miles I pulled the nitrous off the car and added the Xcharger. When I sold it last year that same engine and transmission had 203,000 miles on it and still ran mid 12's the week before I sold it. The new owner has had it to the track and has 212,000 on it now. The 4.0 is a very strong engine and will take a lot.

When they say "NOS", I say its not for them...
