Yes. As long as the car is tuned correctly for the two, there should be any problems.

Every Cobra around here tries it, along with stroker kits. Gawd, if you need more than one power adder or if you need two power adders and a stroker kit , you're doing it wrong.lol.


It'll work, just make sure it's tuned right.

Just wondering, I've had customers want to do it before. lol

A small shot of nitrous makes a huge difference as it drastically cools the inlet air temps. Bob

Disclaimer: not actual advice just a smart @$$ remark.

Take it to the track put the 75 pill in it and add 25 every pass till it blows up. Go back 25 and rebuild it, spray and be happy. Quoted from a promod engine builder I know.

I like to set up the nitrous on a SC setup with a MSD retard box that starts pulling a preset amount of timing (based on the 'pills' installed) when the nitrous solenoid get activated. That way you don't have to drive around with retarded timing all the time, waiting for that (rare) opportunity to squeeze!

I believe you can set up a direct coil MSD ignition box with their Multi-Step Retard.
