If you go beyond a certain point of amount of nitrous injected, then you have to run a wet kit or run the risk of running lean. I somewhat doubt that you would want to run so much nitrous on a stock V6 block that you need a wet kit, it could be, shall we say, devastating. -- PMPO is a complete fantasy "spec" that has absolutely NO physically justifiable meaning. The claim is just outright dishonest, and the company knows it. - Dick Pierce |

I'm running the Zex kit... it's labeled as for the GT but works

The claim is just > outright dishonest, and the company knows it. - Dick Pierce Yep, I undestand that... I've seen all the videos of guy experiencing the dreaded Nitrous Backfire Syndrome.... I watch them very closely... Typical thing I notice is: 1) They are manual trannys. I have an automatic which in general I believe is safer. On a manual you run the risk of bogging the motor (good reason to put in a window switch!) You can't bog an automatic. 2) Perhaps not WOT. The 05+ are of course fly by wire. My Zex kit has an electronic TPS switch that hooks to the cars TPS... So I know I only spray at WOT... (which BTW is at 82% of the pedal travel... ??? LOL) So while my stomach turns watching those backfires.... I do feel pretty confident in my setup... So far so good! Knock on wood! |

I know 'cuz I have that problem currently. 400 CID stroker Windsor with a stock 1000 rpm stall and 3.70's in the rear. This thing SUCKS when it's cold out or if I haven't worked out my right leg lately to try and hold down the break pedal at stoplights. I need at LEAST a 2000 rpm stall. -- Scott W.

My next move is to put in a 2-2.5k stall with a shift kit and all new seals. -- Scott W. '68 Ranchero 500 302 '69 Mustang Sportsroof 351W ThunderSnake #57 http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/ |
