Has Anyone Gone Nitrous?

[JimC]

My wife said that she always liked the nitrous kit I had on my 2006 and that I should put one on my 2024 GT (what she really liked was the purge that I routed to come out the snout of the pony badge on the grille).

I am thinking of picking up the Nitrous Express dual throttle body plate kit for ease of installation and probably only going with a 50 or 75 shot when I take the car to the drag strip. A little reading so far says that for that small of a shot I don't need to tune the car, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has gone nitrous on the S650.

For a small shot, maybe not. My brain says when you put a power adder like that, especially nitrous, get a tune to be as safe as possible. But you wont know for sure until you talk to a tuner who specializes in nitrous tunes.

I can't help myself... Is that like going PLAID?

When the nitrous shot hits it IS a little like going plaid!

I think that would be fun, no clue why there isn't a ton of posts on this topic

I am a little surprised that there hasn't been much discussion about nitrous as a power adder. It is relatively cheap to install and a lot of fun at the drag strip. Filling the bottle gets to be a pain, and early spring and late fall it can be tough to keep bottle pressure up with colder temperature unless you add a bottle heater. On my 2006 I did have a dedicated nitrous tune that I used when i was spraying, but I keep reading that a 50 shot on the 5.0 it isn't necessary to get a new tune - but I haven't found anyone who is actually running a kit.

Nitrous obviously works but has never really been the go to for coyotes. I was tuning nitrous on them back when they first come out in 2011. Yes get a tune.

It's like $12/lb now

I remember when it was $2!

Screw that. Superchargers don't run out.

Hey Jim, I haven’t ran nitrous in any of my newer mustangs, but used it quite a bit in the past

I think a 50-75 wet kit will be no problem, but I would at a minimum change the spark plugs to 1 range colder.
And if you’re gonna spray a small wet kit no tune make sure the octane is there, I’d try to spike the 93 with a few gallons of race gas or high quality octane booster, but between octane and a cold plug it should be alright

probably go 50 shot a few time first
