Oh great 2V gods, assist me in doing this the right way

[Longshot]

Hey guys, new here. I've had plenty of Mod Mustangs in the past, but this one is a little different than the rest seeing as it's a 2V (Had 1 3V and 2 4Vs). I've been doing a lot of reading, mainly about the lean spike and the puddling issues associated with the stock intake.

Here's what I'm working with now...

2003 Explorer Aluminum Shortblock
Hi-tech Motorsports Stage 2 Cams, degreed
Crower Valvesprings
MAC Longtube Headers
MAC Prochamber
MAC Catback
C&L Intake
K&N Filter
Cobra MAF
Ported Plenum & TB
24lbs injectors
GT fuel pump

I plan on using a nitrous plate kit and want to ensure I don't have puddling issues with the intake. Pretty sure that's going to be difficult to do with the stock intake. Will the Edelbrock be a good candidate? I know you have to spin it kind of high, how how can I safely spin this combo?

I guess one of the main questions is how high can I spin the explorer shortblock and how much do you think it could take for n2o?

I would be ok with spinning it to 7000...past that...ehhh...get some better rods/pistons.

As far as a shot...it can't take anymore than any other non-forged motor. Just make sure your tune is good and safe and no lean spike...

If you are doing all the bolt ons and cams...I would think 310-320rwhp should be done..and I wouldnt spray much over 75-100 shot...some have gone 150...and still holding the shortblock together, but they are also all stock...IE JayC...I would stay in the 400-420rwhp range for stock internals. Nitrous TQ spikes are very hard on shit...lol.

I'm hearing a lot about the lean spike, with just a 100 shot could I tune it out with my fuel setup? 24lbs injectors and GT supercar pump?

here's a good thread to read up on... couple of ideas on the lean spike in there.

Edelbrock intake, 6061 elbow (I stock them) and get ready to hold on
