CAR MODIFIED WITH NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM

This is a follow up post to my 1st one regarding Whipple's upcoming supercharger kit for the 2011 Mustang GT 5.0.

There is a lot of skepticism of the stock rods or stock transmission being able to handle 600hp crank and the accompanying mountain of torque. Lethal Performance broke the news and are not new to hard core drag racing builds.

Here is their reply to some common concerns:

"The bottom end can't handle it" or " the trans is toast at that hp level". But how many failures of the tranny or motor do you hear about with that system? Slim to none is the answer as Ford did the same durability testing with that system as they are doing with this one. If it didn't pass the test then Ford nor Whipple would offer it. That's the last thing that both of those companies wants to deal with so if it's being offered it's because they are comfortable with the results they've seen.

Hey, I'll trust Whipple's largest distributor, who also happens to know how to build this 9.66@146.19mph 1/4 mile GT500!
