The Ford modular engine platform is a natural for nitrous applications. NOS® engineers did their homework and developed a highly effective family of “dry” nitrous systems for the increasingly popular 4.6L variant of this V8 family. Available for both the DOHC and SOHC versions, these systems are fully adjustable to deliver up to 150 horsepower. The Ford EFI system is utilized to provide the needed extra fuel, providing complete reliability. The kits include a 10 lb.
Bottle and all the electrical hardware and plumbing that is required for installation. A detailed instruction manual is also provided.
The entry level, or “Stage I” system is available under P/N 05115NOS. This is the basic “dry” system that injects nitrous into the intake tract while the extra fuel is delivered by the EFI system. It will produce a conservative 75–100 extra horsepower.
For more power, the “Stage II” package is available under P/N 05115–II–NOS. This includes a special high performance fuel pump to supply the required additional fuel. It does this by substantially increasing the fuel pressure, which in turn provides for a much richer air and fuel mixture. Power is effectively doubled, to 150 horsepower.
“Dual Stage” systems are also available. These feature multiple
Solenoids and adds power in stages. Through this incremental application of power, it is often possible to achieve quicker elapsed times due to not overpowering the chassis/tire combo on the launch. NOS® “Dual Stage” systems allow the full application of power downstream, where it can more effectively be accommodated by the vehicle.
Installation Notes
The stock fuel pump should be adequate (except where an alternative is provided in the kit), but it should be capable of meeting NEW pump specs. If unsure, replace. Use only premium grade pump gasoline (92+ octane) or unleaded racing fuel. In many instances, a high–output ignition system and free–flowing exhaust system may benefit performance. WARNING: DO NOT use aftermarket chips or other device that will advance ignition timing, as detonation may occur
