My car will be known as the sleeper.

Building a "Sleeper" can be fun, but you might want to reconsider the dual carb's. They look neat but can be a real bear to set up and maintain. They kill any hope of milage and on a street car you might want to consider that. Instead of "Nitro" don't you mean "Nitrous".
Nitro is short for nitromethane, a very slow burning fuel, but give's you a lot of power if you have the ignition system to fire it, and it cost's on average of $35 a gallon.
"Nitrous" is short for nitrous oxide. This is an oxidizer. Which when added to another fuel can make a lot of added power, but be careful, if you don't know what your doing you can destroy an engine in the wink of an eye.

I have been having second thoughts about installing the dual Carburetor in my car. I don't fully know how much extra gas will this mod will do.

My 1975 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS is one heck of a tank, because their is plenty of room for all the things that I planning to put thier. Some of the things that I am planning to put in is my moded xbox with a couple of LCD screen from playing games to watching DVD movies. In my trunk I have more than enough room for my Sound system and for me to put Nitrous in their.

Do you know what it take's to set up an engine to handle nitrous?

Batman518 · 07-18-2003, 03:25

I think I do know what it might take to put nitrous in my car, so that is why I am planning to overhaul the Engine and the Transmissions before I plan to put any type of nitrous of any kind in my car.

If your going to use more than a 75hp shot on the "Button" you'll need more than just an overhaul.

I also am planning to do allot more modes to my Big Block engine. Just in case I do some how might mess up this engine, I have a spare one on the side just in case if any thing was to happen.

Hay big1 since I am barely starting out in making these modes to my car, and since I do not no that much out NOS, I think that it would be in good interest in my being to start out in a starters kit for my car before I fully learn about NOS, then I will gradually improve my Nitrous Oxide System in time before I get in to the real Heavy STUFF.

My 1975 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS has been sitting in my driveway for about a good 11 year's or so, me and my pop have took the car out 2-3 times in the 11 year's. The car has about 350,000 orig. miles and needs a little work. My main problem with it is when I disconnect the battery from the car it turns off. We just put in a new alternator and fuse regulator in, so what might be the problem, I think that their might be a shortage some where under the hood.
