1.0 Introduction to your Edelbrock 2005-2007 Mustang GT Nitrous System
1.1 General Information
The Edelbrock Performer Nitrous System (Part Number 70410) is designed for the stock to slightly modified
2005 to 2007 Mustang GT. Horsepower and torque increases can vary with equipment upgrades and modifications.
The system a plate that is installed in between the throttle body and intake manifold. Both nitrous and fuel are delivered
through this nitrous plate.
This system includes the bottle (shipped empty), bottle feed line and bottle brackets. The mounting brackets include rubber
insulators to protect the surface of your nitrous bottle while mounted in the brackets. When installing your nitrous bottle,
pay close attention to the installation instructions for the location of your bottle. Make sure that the installation of your
bottle does not interfere with any systems that may lie under the location where you plan to drill holes for mounting the
brackets.
Contact your local automotive store, motorcycle shop or race track for refilling your bottle. Trust a professional to properly
fill your bottle and reference your installation manual when re-installing your filled bottle back into your vehicle. Always
take care when handling a full bottle of nitrous oxide.
Please follow all safety methods during the installation of your Edelbrock Nitrous System, and follow all vehicle regulations
and road laws when using your nitrous system.
1.2 Jet Map Information
Edelbrock Engineering has conducted dyno testing with the Edelbrock Mustang GT Nitrous System to ensure the
horsepower increase is as intended. On a typically stock 4.6L engine, you can expect the following approximate
horsepower and torque gains:
These tests were conducted with 950psi nitrous bottle pressure. Never exceed the recommended jetting!
Excessive jetting will result in severe engine damage.
1.3 Engine Operation Considerations
When used correctly, nitrous oxide safely elevates cylinder pressures and temperatures while increasing combustion rate.
These characteristics make the engine more sensitive to detonation. To ensure proper performance, engine and drive line
life, the following tips are suggested:
•Fuel Quality
Because Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, fuel selection is critical. Both octane and fuel consistency affect fuel burn rate. The
oxidizer quality of nitrous oxide will accelerate the burn rate, so we recommend a high quality of gasoline. We also
recommend you use the same grade of gasoline every time you use your nitrous oxide system. This will help maintain the
same fuel burn rate every time.
•Ignition Components
Most aftermarket performance chips increase the vehicle’s ignition timing, which can cause detonation with the use of
nitrous oxide. Please consult with your chip manufacturer on information regarding the compatibility of your chip with
nitrous oxide use.
If your vehicle is equipped with platinum type spark plugs, we recommend they be replaced with the equivalent standard
spark plug.
•Engine System Upgrades
With all performance modifications, complementary system upgrades will always serve to elevate the power of an engine,
especially when using nitrous oxide as a power adder. Modifications such as ignition upgrades, free-flowing exhaust,
camshafts, cylinder heads, manifolds can all add to the performance of a nitrous oxide injected engine.
