would nitrous work on a 5.0 with medium mods and 103000 miles on it. would it destroy the motor. its a 75-100 shot

thanks

it all depends on the tune. Make sure you dont go lean, and don't bounce it off the rev limiter.

go 1 range colder on the plugs and a few degrees of timing retard and you'll be just fine.
103k on a 5.0 is just breakin it in

Our project stang has 90+ on the stock block, we've been running a ZEX 75-100 shot with no problems. The previous post is good advice, if you don't go crazy you'll be alright.

Problem with funny gas is most people like the 75 shot, step up to the 100 shot - like it and want more, keep stepping up, you know get the picture.

All the above is true! Just might wanna add some GOOD gas to the recipe too. Anything you can do to avoid detonation helps.

Check that car out and make sure that it is still in freat working order, you dont want to take any chances on blowing it, and us a 75 shot and STAY with it and i think you will be fine
