Sparkplugs and N20

Anyone run N20? Have you ever seen plugs, and the combustion chamber after running N20? Back in the day I used to run N20 on my Mustang. The Mustang had 100k + miles on it. When I had to change plugs I noticed that they were as clean as the day they were put in. When running N20 it keeps the inside of the motor very clean from deposit buildup. I was just thinking if you run N20 on these 3valve headed motors that the issue of broken plugs would not exist.
Any thoughts?
Josh

Nobody makes a Wet kit to my knowledge.

I wouldn't mind running a small shot on my truck.. like a 70 shot or somthing.

NOS now makes a wet kit for 3v mustangs that uses a rpm window switch to work with the drive by wire. The fuel tap sandwiches between the fuel rail and pressure sensor, the sensor looks to be the same one we have on our 5.4 3v's. The kit comes with a 50 and a 75 shot "pill" I'm thinking this kit will work on our trucks, just don't know for sure.

This looks more like what we need.

I'll have to look at the new stangs and see what their fuel pressure sensor looks like.

The Zex kit might work too. Looks the same.

It would be fun to have some extra power on tap. I'd only want it for the top end.. like 60+ I got PLENTY of bottom end.

i ran nitrous for a while on my 4.2 f150 and had nice and clean plugs when i took them out. i dont know if that would help the broken plug issue though...

the NX kit i had used the test port on the fuel rail. i cant remember if there was a test port on these newer fuel rails, but that would be the easiest way, and you cold use any nitrous kit made for late model fords.

I had the zex kit on my '05 mustang and the fuel rail adapter looks slightly larger than the ones on the trucks. I havent confirmed this bc that piece alone is pretty pricey and didnt want to spend the money on it. It is basically exactly the same but I think the bolt holes are slightly farther out than the mustangs for some reason. If not then the mustang 3v kit will work great and is incrediibly easy to install.

i would love to run a clean setup like the new mustangs but i was looking at the ford fuel rail adapter and i think it wont work.

I put an NX block on mine. Just spray with any wet kit and put it in the colder plugs.
