it all depends on a lot of things, when youre asking about nitrous you need to be really really specific, ie: about how many miles on your truck? how well is your motor tuned? how much nitrous do you want to run? do you have a good ignition system/fuel system? has your motor ever had a problem with running too lean or backfiring? answer all those questions and lm sure someone will be really happy to give you a direct answer. as far as the question is it safe? thats directly related to how much you want to run and how well your motor runs.

i am just looking for some power just for the fun of it, racing mustangs and my friends, i don't really intend on it for drag racing, just want to know i have some backup power. the engine has about 2,000 since rebuilt. I am planning on putting some new heads on sometime soon which are bothering the car now, but sould fix my problem (white smoke)

l'd say you could safely run 100-150 trust me once you feel the 100 jets youll slip the 150's in just to see how it feels (huge difference)in my opinion. as long as youve got a good ignition, and a good fuel pump youre good to go just remember that you MUST retard the timing 1 degree per 50 HP gain no matter how you do it, unless youve got an igntion retard control DO NOT run a fuel curve adjusting/spark timing adjusting chip with nitrous. make sure the motors getting enough fuel and the spark is constant and if anything somewhat retarded. rememer 1 degree per 50 gain 150 HP= 3 degrees (or more) retarded.
