Let me know how you like it! I want to do a boss manifold, TB and bottle car.....and hide it in the spare well, black braided lines, tuck the switch and solenoid behind a firewall and see if I can pull off a sleeper

I've found a used kit locally for $220, and was seriously debating buying it before I saw this thread...and now even more so. My only concern is leaning out too much with a wet kit if the stock fuel pump can't keep up. On a NOS brand 100hp wet kit (I'm assuming using a manifold plate and not direct injected) would our stock fuel pumps keep up with demand, or is going with a KB Boost-a-pump almost inevitable? I've heard the new 5.0's LOVE nitrous, but how do they hold up to spray long-term? Any max amount to stay under on stock internals?
And of course the other argument, is it worth installing a nitrous kit short-term if long-term you plan on installing a blower app? Or in other words, is it better to save your pennies on the install and bottle refills and wait to splurge on the KB, Whipple, Roushcharger, etc?

^^^That's a great idea to use the sound tube to conceal the wires and such, I knew Ford had to have a better reason for installing that waste of space...

I really don't think you'll have to worry about the fuel pump keeping up as long as you stay below a 150 shot. I actually am using a nozzle set up and not a nitrous plate. If you can get that kit for $220 and it includes a plate get it! The plate alone retails for about $300.
As far as saving money for a supercharger... you are the only one that can answer that. Obviously the "smarter" thing to do is to pass on the nitrous if you want to save money in the long run. But of course the trade off is having to wait a lot longer to save up for the supercharger.
I work in sales and marketing for Late Model Racecraft here in Houston and we are going to be doing this to my car in hopes to bring in more 5.0's. I've spoken to several tuners and they even went as far to say that with a 100 or 75 shot you can run on the stock tune! The timing curve, they say, is really not even adjusted that much for those "small" shots. I have it jetted for about a 100 shot right now, but I plan on running a 125 shot shortly.
I should finish the install this weekend, so I'll let you know how it goes!

Thanks!
Funny how things work sometimes though... Only 2 days after mounting my nozzle (the only thing I have done so far) I get a check engine light for a #8 cylinder misfire. Obviously has nothing to do with the nozzle install, but wtf?! Anyway, I'm currently getting a stock intake elbow so I can take it to the dealer so this issue is resolved under my warranty, but **** am I glad this happened before I installed Nitrous and tuned my car! What can ya do ya know?
