Nitrous Backfires
#1
How many guys have lost their stock intake manifold to nitrous back fires? Will an bullitt manifold be prone to breakage like the plastic one, or will it be able to handle such a back fire?

You shouldn't have trouble with the bullitt intake but to keep the car from backfiring due to over rev or coming on to early I would put a window switch in there.. You shouldn't have any issues if you spray between 3400-6000 rpms.. And don't try to put too much Nitrous through it.. I would keep it at a 100 shot maybe a 125 shot but no bigger on the stock intake.

i've seen more than a few 96-98 and 99/01 cobra's blow up their manifold

Also dont pedal your car while spraying the car stay in the throttle or completely get out of it pedaling the car will cause puddling of gas and nitrous in the intake manifold and that will most certainly cause a backfire

Window Switch is a MUST for an manual transmission. MSD digital one is a good one. I like the adjustability. Correct me if I am wrong, but can't you do a Direct Port from Dyno tune, and that way you won't get the puddling effect that a shark nozzle (or something similar) will give you? I'm not familiar with Mustangs, but the Direct port I'm looking at from Dyno Tune just puts a little adaptor on your fuel injector, so that you can add the N20 and fuel lines directly to the fuel injector. It seems to be the best "bang for the buck" setup out there for a direct port! Maybe they have a Mustang version?
