Huh what? About nitrous making torque? Here’s one dyno graph example: ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f298/94gtslow/johncar2.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f298/94gtslow/johncar2.jpg) Dudes running a mild 5.0 (75K central coast mustang gt40p longblock,ecam,cobra intake,30#inj,maf,190 fuel pump as quoted from Stangnet) with a 100 shot from a Nitrous Express wet kit. He went from 330lb/ft of torque N/A to 530lb/ft of torque on the 100 shot. More details: [http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=615943](http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=615943) From what I understand this is pretty typical. ---

Oh I see… Yeah, I’m not exactly an expert on FWD automatics mated to four cylinders, but I’d imagine that they aren’t designed to handle over twice the amount of stock torque. In my experience nitrous is pretty hard on any automatic because of all the torque, and I’d think it would be even more damaging to a transmission that’s designed to handle what, 130lb/ft? ---
