O.K. here is the question. Anyone install a NOS kit on a 5.4? If so what were the results and what H.P. kit was installed?. Thanks

I have been told you can squirt up to 150hp, but that is the limit. I'm not sure and wanted to experiment. Hoping someone else had experienced some usage. Also I am planning to install a 65mm throttle body with new air flow meter. I have a K&N filter charger and that seemed to help a lot. Also I was curious as to a super chip. Would it all work together.

Thanks

nitrous oxide is not that great big engine eating monster everyone thinks it is .... i would put a 100 hp shot on it as a starting point and you should gain some nice increases in power .... i like the nx express kit , thats what i run on my v-6 truck

you can run 1/2 the horsepower safely on a stock engine. meaning if yer engine has 300 hp stock, you can safely run 150 hp shot. but be sure that you have everything hooked up correctly. i heard bout a mustang that had the plastic intake and when he hit the nitro it blew the intake to pieces.:-staun im not sure if it was to much nitro or what the deal was? just a heads up.

Regardless of what you do, make sure it's done right. Have a professional shop that specializes in that kind of thing give you information, or do it for you.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-Aug-02 AT 10:41 AM (EST)]If you want it done right, do it yourself. Nobody cares as much about your engine as you do.
