Instangator said:The nitrous pull was done with stock factory tuning. I would like to see the a/f ratio a little richer up top so I will probably drop jet sizes from 59 down to 58 or 57. I would like to get a tune, but there are no Ford tuners in my area.

Instangator said:The 59 jet was the one recommended by NOS in the instructions that came with the kit. It yielded 115HP at the wheels.

I ran about 35 bottle through her before I switched poweradders.
Instangator said:I called NOS Tech Dept. today to find out how they felt about my air/fuel and HP#'s. According to the tech guy, my air/fuel ratio is fine for the 05116 dry kit. I will still be sending my SCT Flash Tuner back to JMSChip for a nitrous tune.
Before going to the dyno, I ran several times with the bottle pressure over 1100psi with no problems at all. I also check all plugs every couple of weeks to ensure nothing is going wrong.

While I appreciate your concern for the life of my engine, I don't need your smart ass comments. If my engine does blow, so be it, but according to the largest and oldest manufacturer of nitrous kits in the world my air/fuel is fine. However, if you can prove to me that you somehow know more than the manufacturer then I will will disregard their years of research and development and take your advice.
Instangator said:I just got back from the dyno. I pulled 253.2 HP and 288.2 Trq. SAE naturally aspirated. Air/Fuel stayed between 12.9 and 13.2. On the nitrous, I pulled 366.9 HP and 462.2 Trq. SAE jetted for a 100 HP shot w/ the bottle pressure at only 850psi.!! Air/Fuel was stayed at around 12.6-12.9 with a high of 13.1. The N/A numbers are about what I expected, but, needless to say, I was rather impressed w/ the nitrous numbers. By the way, this was done on a DynoJet.
