Smile 1985 F150 351 Windsor Carbureted

Hello All,

We compete our F150 in mud racing (mud bogs) and are looking to get a little bit more power out of the 351 windsor, would this be ok to run on our engine? Engine has around 200K miles on it.

Well I guess my real question was is that compatible with my engine? Is there another NOS kit designed for are engine rather then a universal setup.

Who are ya? Vin Diesel?

Anyway, sure you can put nitrous on a well worn motor, but you'll find the weakest link real fast.

I highly recommend reading a few articles like these:
http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/e..._nitrous_shot/

http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/n...h_terminology/

http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/e...trous_systems/

There really isn't a specific kit, generally you buy a NO2 kit and set it up for your system. It's not a crutch, but an enhancement.
