Welcome to AllFordMustangs.com. We look forward to you registering on our forum and making your first post.
Ok after I put AFR 165 heads, Trick Flow Intake, 255 LPH fuel pump, adjustable regulator and new cam. What would be a good 75 to 100 shot nitrous system? Do I need new ignition system a controler.
let me know

I'd go w/ the N.O.S. brand kit 5115 It's adjustable from 75-150..I would go w/ a new ignition like msd or ACCEL just because of the mods u have now

I run the NOS 5115-2 kit that comes with the extra fuel pump, and larger jets. I've run it for about 2 years without problem. I've had the 150hp jets in since I installed it. It was just about the first thing I did to my stang. I like mine. I also bought a NX kit that's a wet system for my wife's 2000 Eclipse V6. I have yet to put it on. In fact I've had it for about a year and it's still in the box. I'm considering installing it on the stang instead since I can run a larger shot with it being "wet". But I'll wait to do that after I get my new bottom end with some forged pistons.
Stock ignition and stock timing will be fine, just run a .035 gap on the plugs so they fire for sure. I would go with a wet kit, I like knowing for sure that I'm getting enough fuel. Personally I use and sell NX.
Oh yeah I forgot about the plug gap. When I installed my NOS kit (dry) I didn't re-gap my plugs the first run out. I did back my timing down from 10 degrees initial to 8. I got high RPM miss fire with the stock gap. So I came back and gapped them and all was good. Since I installed my MSD 6AL I run .052" gap and 8 degrees initial timing. Everything has run well for the last 2 years since I"ve been running it. I always turn my timing back up if I know I'm not going to be running the NOS for awhile. It's really unbelievable how much power gain there is going from 8 degrees initial to 12. Don't get me wrong it's not like you pick up 50 horse or anything, but it's a definate noticeable seat of the pants difference. Also, running the stronger ignition and being able to run the larger gap on the plugs, got me some more power out of the NOS shot. I may be a dummy, but I have even run the stock heat range of plug with the 150 shot, and the plugs gapped at .052". So far "Knock on Wood" everything has been great with my car.
When I installed my heads, which was within the last 3 weeks, I was able to see my pistons, cylinder walls, and top ring. Everything looked good there too.
I was a little worried though because there was one time that I ran at the track, and left a full 10 degrees of initial timing, and ran 91 octane. When I came off the line (racing a 3000GT VR-4 TT) I had no detonation at all, but once I got to about 3000 RPM my car detonated like crazy. I backed out of the throttle to de-activate the bottle, and got back on it. I was hoping to get an "almost" full throttle without activating the NOS again, but I did, and it detonated again. So from that point on half throttle it was. (about half track). I did beat the VR-4 but my ET was kinda crazy. I think I ran a 14.56 @ 76 mph. I wasn't really impressed with that VR-4. I figured he'd give me a run for the money even on the NOS. He must have been a bad driver, or his car wasn't running well or something, because those cars should run atleast into the low 14's - high 13's stock. And the way he looked at me on the line, he thought he was going to spank my ass. Go Ford Go Home Import!!!!
Anyways, everyone on here I'm sure has some great insite into what they have actually done, and what has worked. This is just my personal experience.
