Nitrous wet kit in a 4.6
 

Does any one have a wet kit in thier mod motor, if so how much juice have you given it. I saw a kit for up to four hundred extra horse, would the engine handle this with the obvius upgrades, rods, pistons, crankshaft, cam. I know the exhaust would also have to be done to make the most of the power.

The largest kit I've seen so far actually used on a street driven 4.6 is a 150 shot.... (The NX kit I think)

Most kits for street stangs are dry kits offering around 75-100 hp.

400 hp is one heck of a shot, and I would recommend a racing prepped bottom end before even attempting it.

Just out of curiosity, are you actually looking into a full-out drag car, or just a street-strip cruiser?

Just curious, because once you get to around the 500 flywheel hp mark, you start to seriously delve into money\tuning holes if you intend to drive a hp monster every day to work.

Actually I am going to be in the army, so the commute will be real short. I do want to retain a little bit of streetabilty(not sure if that is a word), thats why I thought about nitrous.

If I can get even 350 or so horse at the wheels that would be fine for street, then I could juice it when necessary.

The only reason I was thinking of a wet kit was because I thought they were safer for the engine, less chance of going too lean.

How much of a shot are you running Hammer?

I have heard that with wet kits on the 4.6 the fuel can sometimes puddle in the intake as they were only designed to flow air (as opposed to a carburetor intake manifold which flows both air and fuel).
Anyone else heard this?

You are right.
 

Actually I just checked on that, any wet system in fuel injected engine can do that and it's pretty dangerous. So that idea is out, anyone know of a direct port nitrous system, or would it be beter to just go with a dry?

For a street driven Stang, I would recommend a dry kit. It's safe and easy...

I don't run nitrous anymore. It got expensive filling up that bottle...;)

I went with a blower and never looked back...

If you want 350+ at the wheels, the quickest and easiest route is a blower...

What kind of blower are you running? I've heard good things about the ATI procharger. Mostly from them though, lol.

I've got the ATI Procharger P1SC with 3 core intercooler running 8 lbs. boost.

Runs good other than a case of bad oil seals at first... after that, it runs great...
