Is This Safe??

Performer Nitrous Systems

I am really thinking about ordering this when I get back next week.

I would use the 50 shot I wouldnt go any higher until I get my exhaust and aome other things done I have been reading the topics ans I noticed wanting ot know cam specs I am not sure of mine but they should be the same as a stock 5.0 H.O. Would a 50 shot be safe on my car I dont want to blow the motor up!!

yes and no, nitrous on the 305 is iffy because they design was so poor a 50 shot shouldn't hurt anything

87-92 5.0 mustangs, or all ford 302 motors through those years came from the factory with forged pistons. 305s.....much more than 50....iffy. but only one way to find out.

well if your talking real 5.0, I'm telling you where it is. and your 3 cubic inches, technically may make it a 4.9, but it is labeled as a 5.0 and performs better than the "real" 5.0.

All 5.0's are **** compared to the ones that GM produced in the late 60's.

Maybe by horsepower numbers, but as far as the car as a whole, they could keep up with many of you so called 60's muscle cars. Ohh wait, I have one, and i'm sure that I can keep up with or beat any detroit muscle off of the 60's showroom floor. sooo....with that in mind. **** on you, and your blown motor.

and blowing smoke out your ***? the 5.0 was not a fast emgine on the strip, and I doubt you could run with all the 60's muscle cars unless your in the 10's

Have no idea why I posted 3 times for the same post. :banghead: And as far as running 10's, most of the muscle cars from the 60's are in the 14s, and 13's, and the faster ones like the hemis and 440s and such were in the 12 second area from the showroom. no 10s though.
