Default 1990 Ford Mustang 2.3L Running Nitrous Oxide?

i was wondering what the max shot of NOS i could run in my stock 2.3L mustang would be without causing too much damage (i know any amount of Nitrous will make things wear faster and all that good stuff) just wondering what i could run for Nitrous to get her down the 1/4 Mile a little faster before i get my engine stuff sorted out... thanks in advance for any help.

I'd suggest keeping it mild, a 50 shot would be good. A 100 would be too much for me to be comfortable. Just make sure you have the tune for it correct.

That's true. You might could go up to the 90 shot, just don't get greedy. It's easy to go too far with it.

for our 4 cylinders 75-100 shot would be as high as you could go and still be streetable with premium octane gas and i hi flo fuel pump, any thing above that you will need to run race fuel and witch would not be a street car rather then a race car
