Nitrous and stock 5.0 block

Not alot of posts in here so I will start one with a story,

So a friend of mine with a 89 notch has a pretty damn nice looking car with pretty much stock motor other than a gt40 intake. He put a 100 shot dry kit to it. After much deliberation and repeated arguments he put it on there not listening to me because I kept telling him to use a wet kit for that shot or lower it to a smaller shot. Well need less to the intake exploded through the hood on the second shot. I guess what im saying here is if you want to go to a larger shot make sure you have the right air/fuel mixture. I do not care for dry kits at all. I do believe that NOS is the great equalizer however installs like this is what gives NOS a bad name to alot of people. I will always recommend NOS over alot of other power adders. Also to ensure that where u are filling at is extremely important. But the question that he brought to me was "do u think that alot of how that happened is because the motor is almost stock." I did not know how to answer, just because like I said it was a dry kit. So the question is, is should it have been able to take that shot regardless, or was it just bad tuning.

Where did he get the bottled filled?

Exactly what I figured. I know several folks that issues with nitrous purchased there. Check out Mark at MT Performance.

get nitrous from a different place I can speak of this first hand. I had issues once and turned my bottle open at the track and nothing but air was coming out.

Yep, that would also explain how a stang could have a big back fire since the nozzle is shooting mostly fuel (wet kit) and air. Not good.
