A blower setup adds 100+lbs to the car.I'll admit I know nothing about nitrous. What's the advantage to spraying a 400 shot over forced induction? Is it a streetability thing?
Nitrous requires no intercooling because it's a cooling agent on its own. Torque delivery is instantaneous which can lead to traction problems, but a progressive setup that allows you to "feather" the nitrous flow will fix that. I wouldn't say there is a streetability advantage because it's only designed to work at WOT and a basic 100-125 shot on a 3.7/4.6/5.0 Mustang is plenty enough to put you in misdemeanor territory on the streets.
There are guys here spinning theirs north of 7k on stroker setups. If this is a track oriented car I assume you would be doing rebuilds every other year (or sooner) anyway.I have an FTI stage 4 TH400 trans with a Pro-brake and the car has been through fairly severe levels of weight reduction.
I have no problem spraying 400-500 horsepower worth the nitrous, it's what you would do on any capable pushrod based engine, I just think the lack of cubes might hinder the engine from taking that much nitrous, I'm not certain because most people stop at about 200 and call it a day.
I read the same thing, stock stroker and boost, I'm not worried about extreme RPM, my trans is limited to 6600 RPM unless I upgrade the drum so I would stroke the BBB deal if I went that route.
