You realize Nitrous is going to destroy the tranny in these truck quickly if your not careful, Although thats not necessarily a bad thing. If you wanted a speedy pickup, Why not an SRT10 or a CTD? Either of those, With mild mods, can be quicker than a fully tricked out hemi truck any day of the week. And I wont even start how many cars are out there that are cheaper than a hemi pickup that can easily out race them.
? If so lets see pics/vids

look in my photos for pics, it is a 5.7, but not like it came from the factory. i built it to take a heavy shot of nitrous, ross pistons, crower rods, 6.1l forged crank etc. There is always someone faster out there, but i couldnt afford a Ferrari GTO or a viper, so i bought what i could afford and built it the way i wanted.

I ran it on the Mustang for years. Your biggest concern is having enough fuel and backing down the timing to prevent detonation. Detonation on the spray can cause major engine damage. Anything from a blown head gasket to a cracked head or busted piston.

BINGO LX! thats why i told him to run a tuner with an econo setting to take some timing out. I am running an SCT tuned for the gas, and still check plugs at least every time i change the bottle. It is not as big of a killer for me, with good forged pistons, but it will destroy stock slugs in a quick hurrey!
