What is the best kit for the marks and what preporations should be made for NOS? Also what is a safe amount of hp for are cars do to the fact of there age and mileage. Is it true the looser the motor the better for NOS? By the way great idea for a performance only section.

I would not go any higher than a 150 HP shot. as long as your engine is in good shape. I would go with a dry system, wet systems can backfire and create a big mess. I prefer NOS brand.

With any power adder, you have to be concerned about the strength of your engine. Remember, we have the same block as a Cobra, but dont have the forged cobra crank. If you add too much boost you can break that crankshaft, among other things.

sounds good. my car has 108000 but is very powerful and shows no signs of being weak. Ill probably go with a 100 to be safe.

I've been squeezing my Mustang for 10 years, 125HP. it has a cast crank and hyperutectic aluminum pistons. no problems at all. just read your spark plugs and retard timing a bit. I run my bottle at 1000psi.

Good mod that would really give better ets on the street and track. I think 100 shot would be fine......

yeah, I agree. if I put the juice on my Mark VIII I will go with 100 HP shot.

My Lincoln engine service manual says that the crank is forged. this is a factory/dealership manual. so is it wrong?

Yes it is wrong if it says the crank is forged because it is cast. It doesn't really matter though because cast crank are solid and have been used in up to 1000hp applications in all types of different V8 engines. No one ever breaks their crank anyway it's the pistons and rods and valves that drop.

wow, good to know! everything I have read about the lincoln Mark VIII engine had led me to believe that they had forged cranks. It doesn't matter to me though, all I have ever had are cast cranks, and no problems.

I have been running a 125 shot for a couple of years now , so far no problems whatsoever (except a broken motor mount from launching)
and I have over 100k miles.


I am using a 5115 NOS kit. (dry)

You will also need a 255 lpm fuel pump,adj fuel pressure regulator and gauge.
Don't forget the drag radials ! You will need them .

Yes Matt! Tell it like it is Baby!

Heres Matts car in ACTION! (http://www.lincolnmotorsport.com/headhunter.wmv)

Couldn't have done it without you my Brotha !!
I never get tired of seeing that vid !!

If that video doesn't sell someone on Nitro I dunno what would!!!

Thats freaking great!

well I got the kit. I guess I'll start out with the 100 shot first, but I will be moving up to the 150 shot as soon as I get it dialed in.

I'd love to see the results of that. :)

Ordered new HP fuel pump & adjustable regulator. installing this winter with brake upgrades.

Call it nitrous oxide please.:D Hearing somone say "nawws" conjures up images of F+F 1 and Vin Diesel running from an explosion that would never have happened.:shifty: So yeah you got it right in your later post.

who called it nawws? I didn't see it anywhere except in your post. :shifty:

There

that says NOS, which is the brand name of the kit.

I know that, nitrous oxide systems .... But look at how it is used
" what preperations should be made for NOS"
"is it true the looser the motor the better for NOS"
Think about it.....

:nos:

:nos:
naaaawwssss !!!!!!:shifty: lmfao
(runs and dives behind bush)

:lol: :lol:

:bowrofl: But what if the naaws blows the welds on his intake ?

Just remember a few things:

1. If you don't have enough, you will spin out at 140 mph while testing your top speed in the drive-in movie lot
2. Using it for too long will create a danger to the intake manifold welds
3. The size of the bottle determines the horsepower increases, not the size of the shot
4. If you have diamond plate floors, they will get sucked out under your car at speeds above 120 mph
5. Concentrate very hard, because travelling at 130 mph looks like warp speed on the Enterprise

ANd #6 . When you lose your car in a street race the "mad scientist" will rip apart the block and replace the piston rings that you fried :wrench

is there a nos kit made for the mark now? or are you using the mustang cobra kit? and if it needs to be mod does anyone have info on how to do that?

a universal 8 cylinder kit is fine. 10lb bottle. i have a wet system from nos and as long as you run it right, your intake is safe. you may want to use a progressive controler to reduce shock increase in power and prevent activation at too low an rpm. mine comes on 50% (adjustable;controler pulses the solenoid) at 2000 rpm (also adjustable) and ramps up to 100% in 1 second (adjustable) then finaly cuts off right before I shift, then starts over again. the car is back to stock when not using it thanks to stock injectors etc. i have not taken mine to the track yet but low 13's high 12's seem attainable. I still need to install a wide band O2 to monitor AF ratio's.

you should be safe with a 100 shot but you need to monitor fuel pump cycle duty if sticking with stock pump alone. my car is good for 100 in this case. fuel system aside, 150 would be max i go with that engine. jet it for somewhere between 140 and 112 to be safe.

and nice job with the mark! I used to have a 94 t-bird and always loved the mark8 but ended up with the LS since its a little newer. at the time i was excited about a 6 spd ws6 and long story short, i dont have any regrets.

I use a zex dry kit. its good because the control box moniters teh nitrous and fuel presure and will adjust or shut of if it detects any funny buisness
I'm using a 100 shot and all I did was go too a colder plug and get a chip to back the timing off.
all I can say is nothing compaires to the kick in the pants you get when the nitrous kicks in.
I got a 13.7 at 104 on street tires spinning threw first and second.
