Im not very fimiliar with nitrous (Better with turbos). Would the ATX handle 100 shot?

No, NOS is not better for FWD ATX. A turbo would be the better choice becuase the power is a gradual gain not a sudden burst, 100hp suddenly at the front wheels would pull like a Son of a *****. Plus the tranny wouldn't last very long.

What about the MTX? It should handle a turbo and NOS. Just need a heavy duty clutch.

The ATX is actually pretty sturdy. They use the same one for the Zetec as they do with the Duratec.

The ATX IS strong enough for an 8 psi turbo, Ive found out. But I dont know about a turbo and NOS. That would require major Trans upgrades. Id like to get my car into the 10s or 12s

100HP shot would ruin the tranny, if not the engine. A guy on the mailing list tried a 75 shot on his atx zetec a year or two ago. Ended up replacing the engine... YMMV.

12's is possible NA if you go on a serious diet. Esslinger's ZX2 go into the 12s with ~200HP, but it only weighed 2000lbs.

If I built up the internals with stuff from Esslinger and did the trans with stuff from Level 10 and put a 3/4 hybrid turbo on it with NOS, add larger injectors and a stand alone fuel management system. I bet I could hit 10s.

If I were to add a NOS system, what would I need to replace in my engine to ensure that my pistons wouldn't shoot through my hood and my engine to melt down smtass4u@aol.com
