Wanna have a little fun with my 2000 v6 mustang. I wanna put a nitrous kit on it. Where can I find one for my 2000 v6... Could I use a nitrous kit from a 99-04 Gt?

They can be safe but when it goes wrong it is usually big and costly. A V6 is good for a 50 or 75 shot stay away from anything higher, other thing is it is only temporary hp... bottle is empty back normal. A good kit will add up with a remote bottle opener ( a must unless you are going to drive around with it open all the time), purge kit, warmer, etc. go with supercharger. like I said 99% are safe but google some mis haps and the results. I have only been around one intake back fire that sealed the deal for me to stay away.

Focus on doing you turbo build. Nitrous would be worth it in my opinion

I ddin't know you where looking at turbo kit so either continue or look at a supercharger, altleast these offer constant HP. nitrous can be worth it but like I stated it is only temporary HP, weigh the options.

What are your goals with this car? 4.10's are outstanding in drag applications as a buddy of mind with a Cobra Conversion runs them and they smoke me every time. If you plan to run long distance than the 4.10's are terrible! As stated, forced induction is a MUCH better route than n2o. It's much much easier to blow something up when running spray ignorantly.

A single turbo would some good. It would be best to run around 8 to 10 pounds unless u rebuilt ur engine.
