Nitrous on the Coyote..

Somebody pulled the AED off the wall and shocked this ancient thread back to life. Lots has been learned about spraying a Coyote since 2011.
First: No nozzle systems on a Coyote, unless the shot is really low, like under 100 and even then, why? The distribution in the coyote manifold isn't great and you want a plate for up to 150 or DP system for more than that.
Second: There is no safe shot on a Coyote that doesn't require a proper nitrous tune.
Third: Buy all the safety stuff, especially for manual cars. You NEED a window switch with a manual. One missed gear could spell disaster. Autos can get away without one (as long as the shot isn't too high, I wouldn't risk over 100 w/o a window); just leave the trans in D to do its work. The risk with autos and what makes a window switch smart is the gnat's butthole tight toque converter and spraying out of the hole at low engine revs. Puts a lot of load on the rods and pistons. Better to window it in at 3000 or put a 4c converter in there that'll let you launch at higher rpm.
I'm shooting 100 into an otherwise totally stock 2014. It's fast enough to be fun and puts the car at the cage limit, according to NHRA rules.

I own a 2013 mustang GT. I do have a nitrous system installed. I did plenty of research and countless hours of calling experts and reading forums and blah blah blah. I went with a direct port system over a plated system. I'm running 150 shot of nos no problem and will soon turn up to 200 shot. The direct port system is a lot more expensive but much more effective and safe for your engine. The amount stress added to your engine with a direct port system is very minimal vs a plated system. there will be a nozzle tapped into your manifold over each cylinder. Better chances of your engine not running lean this way. also I didn't need a tune for this bc I'm running a separate fuel system in with this application. I have 116 octane race fuel that supports the nitrous when used. Race fuel is only a good alternative up to 150 shot of nos. anything higher your gonna need a tune to retard timing. I love the separate fuel system bc I don't need to pull over and change my tune just to use my nos. Its as simple as a flip of the switch and my car is ready to go. I do recommend spending the extra money on accessories like bottle heater, remote bottle opener, purge system, and most important a window switch. The window switch to me is prolly the most important item you can by bc it eliminates any human error someone can do to blow there engine. Under the right circumstances nitrous can very safe and fun for your engine. but like anything under the wrong circumstances nitrous can be very dangerous and cause detonation inside your engine causing it to run lean and throw a bearing or rod. Now what the window switch does is it allows you to input engine rpm, throttle position and calculate bottle psi so that way even if you try to use the nitrous if your safe conditions are not met the window switch will not allow the nitrous to inject inside your engine. I bought gauges as well to see for my self my psi and air fuel and things like that, but its nice knowing that I have a safety switch to help protect my engine whenever I use nitrous. I went with Nitrous Express and I am very happy with what I have, my mustang put down 600 rwhp and 590 ft lb of torque on a 150 shot of nos with race fuel and a naturally aspirated tune from LMR. I have a lot of other mods on my car but the engine is completely stock. Have any question I'm very familiar with nitrous and have a tone of experience with it being on my 2013 mustang so hit me up!

Nitrous is not only super cheap compared to a supercharger or turbo, but the re fill isn't as much of a pain as you think, I run 150 shot and can get about 10-12 passes on the 1/4mile b4 I run low. Plus the cost is cheap it's 48 dollars to fill my 10lb bottle

Sadly, N20 is a lot more expensive where I am, but, so is SC. I can fill a lot of bottles for the difference between the cost of an SC that is 10X the cost of a nitrous setup.

Yep, calling bull**** on using less than a pound of nitrous per pass at the 150 level on a 5.0 motor.
