? would a NOSzles system for a mustang 4.6 work on our trucks so you could control the amount of nitrous better. i think a nitrous kit on my truck would be cool

thats for sure..look at my signature....

I was thinking about either a 50-75 shot or a 6lb lower.But since I have a Xcal 2 the pulley sounds a little better instead of getting a chip.Plus it'll be cheaper in the long run.If I do go w/ NOS I'll have it set up where it only comes on under WOT.I'm just not sure if the motor will hold any more and I was thinking of the pulley just to get the tq I lost w/ a #4.

that sound like a good question for scott but i havent seen any post from him recently
are you running a stock bottom end? from what i've gatherd so far about 450hp and the bottom ends granade and the rods are the weekest link

im still farly new to the lightning game and am unshure of the specifics of these engines ask a question about an AMC engine and im good to go

It all depends on the truck, on my 2002 Lightning I had a 43 poulley, single flash chip, CAI, and cat back exhaust, I blew 4 rods out of the side of the block

Mark #2 on TALON has been running like 20psi on his Kenne Bell, and he has stock heads, cams and stock internale running 11.5x in the 1/4, and has been doing so for 2+ years now

Another truck I know has a 4# lower and minor bolt ons, and runs a 150 NX wet shot, it took him 5 years before he finally blew the motor on his 99 L

I have seen really high hp trucks blow and low hp trucks blow motors, ITS ALL IN THE TUNE, and being smart using race gas, changing plugs, fuel filters, etc

My .02, get the pulley, N20 is a great source of power, but two reasons I havent put juice on my truck:

1.I want the power all the time, not just when the bottle is full and armed

2. Nos is like a hot girl with an STD, you want to hit it, but your afraid of the consequences

again, my .02

I've heard that before and I know what you mean.Will a #6 get me a good amount of extra TQ?From what I can tell a #4 is good for a HP boost but doesn't do much for TQ.
