Man do I hate Nitrous. Its for cheaters. What ever happened to building the **** outta your engine..Maybe not for cheaters, but a true lumpy V8 with the drivers side header chained down to the frame, now thats what I like. You know, so radical that it fouls plugs just from idling.

Just spray its not worth putting anymore money into that 3.4. Anyone who says nitrous is for cheaters if probaly just bitter because there slow car got smoked by a nitrous car. Nitrous is just another form of forced induction. I have had it on 3 of my cars and any car and I plan in spraying to spool on my new turbo 406 that is in the process of being built as we speak

well, i gotta agree... n2o and turbos, i think are both cheap, but again, turbo is more efficent than s/c, and what else can you do to a car that is mechanically maxed out, other than n2o and turbo?

Mustang 4.6 had 215 horsepower, but Ford always made good amounts of torque, they just usually weren't able to consistently back their Torque with massive horsepower. Plus we all know that unless it's a Ford is out to make a true performance car, their Mustangs are usually just average. Sad state of affairs, when in 1996, the base model Camaro 3.8L V6 had 200 HP, and the performance powerhouse V8 Mustang GT 4.6L had 215 HP.

I'm sure the 4.6 would eat a 3.4 whole. No doubt. Plus, the 4.6 has 4 valves per cylinder and with a few bolt ons will push 260-270 HP easy. That's one thing I've noticed with Ford, that their cars are easily open to modification and fairly simple to make their performance on par with GM counterparts.

the 96 GT (215hp) was a 2v motor. the 4v cobras were 300hp at the crank (96-98). the 2v mustang from that time frame (called nPI) were complete dogs. the 99+ cars had better heads and intake manifolds which gave them 260hp. it takes alot to get the older 4.6's up to par through those stock heads. almost everyone does the PI swap and continues working from there.
