Re: '03 Mustang GT/ ---TOPIC SPLIT---

He barely understands the mod order for a mustang. That alone tells me he won't be ready for nitrous anytime soon.

He probably won't be able to hook the power he does have.

It is just like any other power adder. You can blow your engine if you don't fully understand how it works.

Learn to walk before you run. How about trying to get the best time you can before slapping a bunch of parts on it.

I vote for a Bullitt intake before the spray. Aluminum crossover or not, plastic intakes still bother me.

I highly disagree with this statement. There is a lot less forgiveness and time to react with a forced induction motor. Also, a lean condition in an N/A car means really white spark plugs... the same thing in a nitrous or blown car means time to buy a new short block.

I realy hope your just being stubborn and don't really believe this. Hell, I'll give you 10 minutes in my coupe and as long as you don't hold it at one RPM and don't take it above 6500 RPM, I bet you couldn't blow it. Ask any of the supercharged guys here if they would give you that same challenge.

Re: '03 Mustang GT/ ---TOPIC SPLIT---

You got to be kidding. It takes a real genius to blow up a completely stock motor. It's not that easy.

Pissing in the wind or not, if you can't take your car down the track in stock form and get a decent time out of it; what makes you think throwing money at it is going to fix a driving problem?

There is a logical order in how you mod most cars. Nitrous is not for complete beginners. When you're trying to add that much hp over stock, nasty things can and do happen. Granted if you know what you're doing they probably won't, but he doesn't.

I didn't know opinions could be incorrect.
