Boss Heads Vs. GT Heads

I agree. For the return on the dollar and ease of making power boost is the way to go in my opinion.

These Coyote parts are ridiculously expensive it's mindboggling that it's a Mustang. Reminds me more of the Vette tax than a Mustang! lol. For me, the return on these heads just wouldn't justify the cost for MY goal for my car.

Plus, I LOVE boost!

LOL, never owned a nitrous car before have you?

It's certainly far more difficult. Driving ability, suspension set up and weight become far more of a concern. I'd rather take the easy road and just throw boost at it. And of course I couldn't remotely care less about chasing an ET anymore. I have to ignore it and just have fun with the car otherwise it will become a weekly obsession to chase those magical ET whoring out the car and wasting a LOT of time at the track over times that really mean nothing at the end of the day. I look back at that time, I learned a lot, but I can't say I enjoyed it a lot because I obsessed over it so much. It became work instead of just having fun.

Nope. Does it cost ~$8,000 for parts and labor and tuning for a nitrous setup though?

Depends on how many bottles you go through

People here are not considering longterm usability, clearly. So a bottle of nitrous always wins in the power/dollar argument.

A GOOD nitrous kit can cost as much as some blowers. Add to that constant bottle refills at $45 bucks a pop which is a never ending expense.

Add to that a nitrous set up isn't always ready. It needs to be armed, good bottle pressure which means you need a good bottle heater and remote valve opener. That's if you want a good street set up.

You can do it on the cheap for a track like the old days heating it up with a torch of course and a button, but that's kinda ghetto now in the day and age of tech we have now.

Exactly. A lot LESS than the price of just a uninstalled blower.

Someone provide a link showing the price of a full nitrous install costing about $8,000.00.

A Paxton can be had for $4400 bucks. Don't take to an extreme to suit your argument. lol

LOL, hell no! $1500 for a ghetto set up maybe. If you want a plumbed intake, remote valves, bottle heaters, good solenoids,lightweight bottles, progressive controller so you don't blow tire every time you hit the WOT switch etc.

I almost snorted coffee out my nose at that one! Fuck that hurt. lol

The Nx kit is 700 I believe. Bottle warmer, purge kit, ect. Theres a new kit out that has the progressive controller, rpm switch and everything built in for like 1300.

I just priced a NX kit, purge, warmer, opener, for 1550. Add a window switch and controller and your looking at 2k roughly.
