    nitrous on HO conversion

    Hey guys, any of you on here have nitrous on your panther, or on your HO converted panther more specifically? I was considering it as a cheap way to get to 350hp fast when I want to.
    1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.

    Is this an actual HO engine, with forged pistons? If it isn't, you really don't want to try nitrous on a cast-piston engine, especially a CV/Lincoln lo-po 302.

      with non-forged pistons just stay under a 125 shot. you need a fuel system that is in good working order, a stock fuel pump will suipport 350HP, much more than that and you are gona need more fuel flow. also need to pull 2* of timing and go two heat ranges colder on the plugs, also 93 octane fuel is a good idea. NOS's instructions are very good and cover all the information you need.

      i was spraying 125 on hypercraptastic pistions with 16* of timing, stock plugs and 87 octane, nothing happened to my motor, but i would not suggest doing that because it is risky.

        Well if you do that, how will the engine perform when the nitrous is off, as in regular city driving?

          The timing, and plugs are not necessary until the 100hp level

            Little sluggish from the lack of timing. Nothing else should really be effected.

            That's the cool thing about a switch chip or a tweecer. You can have different tunes and select what you need for what you are doing. IE, pull timing when running N20 and add fuel, have normal timing and fuel when normally cruising.
