mustang question

[BajaBoy]

hey to all of u that know alot about cars.

im a Big mustang fan, sry to anyone that doesnt like them.
My dad has a 67' shelby gt5. Its kinda hard for me not to like them (well the car is in the family its a show car, so i dont see it much)

but what im getting to is, this spring im buying a new 03" mustang gt/mayybe mach1. Its gunna have a supercharger (already have it) and maybe a strait thru. My question is, will nitrus be a good idea? no im not one of those wannabiez haha, and im not stupid and no way am i gunna us it in a non legal place. I prob wouldnt even use it. I just want it to be able to say.. ill toste you.


i know this all sounded kinda kid ish but im j-w what ware n tare "nos" will do to my motor being its brand new

How Stuff Works

EXCELLENT article on the effects of Nitrous Oxide



Hope this helps!!! Always good to ask questions, never feel stupid to ask about something you dont know!! Keep that up and you'll do good.

It all depends on how much boost and how big of a nitrous shot you want. I have used nitrous on several cars, but if it was me I would only use one or the other, not both, you run the risk of to much cylinder pressure and breaking parts. good luck

i dunno about the nitrous or wahtever, but why a 2003 mustang? I don't like the body lines on those new ones NEARLY as much as the one from a few years back..... i know someone on here has like a 95 or 96 with the horizontal taillights that is just beautiful..... i dunno, it just seems to me (at least around here) that about 80% of the new mustangs i see around vancouver are driven by women in their 40's or men with mid life crisis'.... they just don't seem as nice to me, no offense to anyone who says otherwise...... if you want turbochargers, how 'bout a saleen? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...saleen.... *drools*

New Mustangs rock and the power difference between say a 98 and a 99 is huge, but everyone likes different things

I agree about the power difference out of the crate... too true, the newer ones do rock. But I also have to agree that I am not too fond of the looks compared to the early to mid 90's. Too boxy now for my taste.... but again IT'S ALL GOOD.

I don't think I would go with a supercharger AND Nitrous though. But that is a personal thing I guess. Also I am not an expert nor a mechanic. LOL

Greg98:
I know exactly what you are saying. Just for you!



And as for who drives Stangs up here in New Hampshire... Heck EVERYBODY! LOL Honestly you see a wide range of folks driving them from Early 20's to Retired Folks. And that is great in my book. The thing I don't like however is that folks are not as friendly up here as they are in the south. When I drove my truck we used to wave at all other truck owners, and they waved back... you would think Stang owners would be the same... NOPE not in New England. Too sad. But that is just another gripe I have... LOL

I have had an 86 GT,89 LX,90 Vert,94 Cobra and now my 01 Cobra and I must say the 01 blows them away in every category, and my 89 was heavily modded

This was the motor for my 89, should have ran a high 11's, but unfortunetly ran into other problems and decided to sell before I completed the project. It ran 12.73 @ 108 on the stock motor with 75 shot of nitrous. Shes all in parts now. Oh well, what could have been?

I don't think nitro/supercharger is a good combination. To me thats just asking for a predetination accident to happen. It really depends on how you use it..and who install the nitro kit. Also depends whether it's a fogger style injector, or an actual direct NOS injector (replaces your factory fuel injectors and has fuel input and NOS input nipples) I'd say..if you're going with a 2003' supercharged... leave it like it is... you don't need nitrous. Sure it's nice to have an extra 50-100 hp at the touch of a button.. but c'mon.. you're talking about a brand new 30,000+ dollar vehicle. DON'T CHANCE IT!

Wanna see power... without that nitrous? Check my page! 620HP ALL MOTOR 70 Chevelle.

I absoutly love a 93 mustang... i used to like the new ones more, but now im goin back to that time. now i almost dont like the 03's.

I agree with many of the posts so far, if you are going to go supercharged, then don't do nitrous. If you do one instead of the other, I would go supercharged, because you won't need to fill it like nitrous, it will always be there.

[rhetor22]

honestly, i would never put nitrous in any car i own. I'm a big engine buff, and getting a ton of horsepower out of something that goes in and comes right back out of your engine... well its nothing special. If you can port your heads and exhaust, and polish em real nice, get a higher degree cam, hot rodded ignition, nice headers, etc. then you have real power. IMO nitrous is crap.

I don't like turbos either... don't really like blowers but i think they're better than turbos.

Anything that adds boost is BAD for the engine. Nitrous is BAD for the engine. If your engine can't last more than 50k miles... its crap.

Thats why i think Wankels are a good idea, but a horrible engine. They just stop working.. and thats crap.

With the right ignition mods and GREAT processing power on the computer side (custom burned chip), you can run N2O with any combination. Some of the pro Mustangs will run a ton of boost but will shoot the car out of the box on the bottle. Why? Because it saves the car from having to wind up to 6-7000 rpms to spool it up for the launch. A quick shot off the bottle in the first 60 feet and you are on your way. This enables the motor to rev at a slower pace instead of leaving on it from a super high rpm range.

In head to head drag racing the first 60 feet is what matters. A tenth of a second pickup in the first 60 feet will translate into 2-3 tenths at the 1320. This is all providing you can stick all that power to the ground. That is a whole other ball of wax!

The drawback of having a blower on a daily driver is that fact that, its a daily driver. Thats a lot of stress on a motor when you are running from stoplight to stoplight. You can sometimes run into driveability issues as well (off idle, rough starting). There are pros and cons to both systems. As in anything you should choose what you feel more comfortable with. Over rev a motor on nitrous and kiss those valves and spings goodbye!
