$2500. i found a direct port kit for my victor 5.0 intake. i like the way this guy set his up Super Victor Direct Port Nitrous System - Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords
It looks good and he picked up quite a bit just by making it direct port. What do you guys think of the nitrous plate systems that go between the upper and lower intake? I guess it would be a direct port also? Any opinions or experiences?

When I was thinking direct port, I was thinking of putting the wet system on it that utilizes the fuel injectors to mix the nitrous and fuel. When I thought plate system, I was thinking carburetor plate system not EFI.... OOPS.
I prefer direct port, although I don't run nitrous, because of the instant response from the squeeze. Although I'm sure the upper/lower plate system is still perfectly allright, The custom Victor EFI setup is pretty cool too.

i been running a plate system for the past few years i love it
i just decided to kick everything up a notch with the new motor...
that why i went with the direct port system
the edlebrock system is a good system ....
i went with the wilson system because at the time i was working in ft.lauderdale so i could just go pick it up....

i'd like to hear some info about what you have to do to run nitrous, as in recommended fuel pressures and ignition upgrades, timing changes, if a tune is absolutely required, higher octane requirements, and how this all changes from wet to dry systems...
also, what gears to hit the juice and through what rpms, what activation is best as in computer controlled, throttle activated, or the button...
how to change the hp shot of the nitrous through fuel/nitrous jets and such and where upgrades to kits can be found...
also, how the power of nitrous compares to that of blowers as compared to the wear and tear it puts on the engine...
how much nitrous should be used on higher mileage engines and those with and without forged internals...
I think this guys post was over looked
Fuel pressure: Would depend on you shot size and tune.
Ignition: It is always recommended when running Nitrous.
Timing: I believe Timing should be 2* Retarded for every 50HP. Although most people get away with stock timing for the first 50HP so 100 shot= 2* retard, 150 shot= 4* retard and so on.
Tune: For anything under a 150 shot I don't think a tune is "absolutely required" But after that point a tune would absolutely be a wise decision. Of course a tune at any level would benefit your car, its probably not worth it on the smaller shots.
Octane: You should run higher Octane with Nitrous due to the higher cylinder pressure.
It is advisable to never use Nitrous in 1st gear (although some do) You should always hit the juice above 3000rpm and of course let of before your shift point. The use of a RPM activated "window switch" will make things easier. As for what activation is best kind of is up to the driver. "Use what works for you and that you are happy and comfortable with" It is recommended to use two activation switches. Like a "window switch with a WOT switch or a button. This makes it safer and ensures that the Nitrous will only be activated when all the conditions are right. But it is not "necessary".
Changing the shot size is fairly easy there are plenty of charts at the beginning of this thread and upgrade kits can be found just about at any "race shop" or on the web.
As far as how much wear and tear Nitrous causes compared to Blowers is up to your tune. Any power adder will increase the cylinder pressure so have it tuned right and avoid detonation and you should be fairly "safe".
I think that covers what you asked. If not hit us back. Reggie could help out alot with anymore questions you may have better than I could. So I hope I did not post any "mis information"

i have a 89' gt 5 speed and ran nitrous last season on the stock everything i ran a 100-150 wet depending on the track condition,if i felt it could stick i put the 150 jets in and sprayed out of the gate WOT switch. best time was 13.24 at 114 mph on street tires any questions just give me a shout. we will see what it runs this year am thinking of going supercharged. Brian
So if you use a window switch for then nitrous to come in at 3000 RPM and another to come in at WOT, but the car spins like crazy, im guessing you do just like you do without nitrous, left off the pedal slightlywhich would deactivate the WOT switch) until it catches?

And another thing, i seen a guys 99GT blow the intake to pieces on the dyno because his 3000 RPM window switch malfunctioned i guess and ythe nitrous came in too early or something? How often does this occur?

that is the result of nitrous puddling....
usally happens with wet kits.....

Foggers before the T/B are a risky combo. Some have luck, and some dont.
The whole "No nitrous in first" wont hurt nothing. Its just that the majority of cars wont get any traction so it does more harm than good thats all. No offense to anyone that does spray in first. If it hooks then use it. The rule applies more to street use than track use. You should be on the track to begin with but lets face it, guys spray on the street everyday.

anyone using nitrous with sc.if the cold air makes better power if you could use a small shot for the cooling affect it have to have great affect.(if you motor is up for it)
What kits are people using on SN95's? Are all usual brands decent? I've been looking at a ZEX kit, but I'm not sure which one to get. Also where can I fill a bottle in north east Pennsylvania?

i found a direct port kit for my victor 5.0 intake. i like the way this guy set his up 
OOPS.
