I've always wondered why people make comments about if you wanna go fast you shoulda bought..... guys buy Civics and wanna go fast(er). I remember when guys souped up their Pinto. 
Doesn't matter what it is it's fun to make it go faster. Maybe not a cement mixer but....

I remember when guys were buying civics and putting the Acura Integra engines in them, with a super charger, they were fast. They would kill a mustang all day, every day. To the OP, its your money and your truck, enjoy it.

Buying an f150 for speed is like buying one for good fuel mileage. Either way its just a pick up.
That said tho, how long does a nitrous shot last - wouldnt u just refill it all the time? Or is this just to say "man if my nitrous was full right now, Id kick your butt" as he sits there in his low mpg pick up. Lol

OK, I've read all the posts, and the 5.0 should be good for a 75 shot. JUST curious, how would the eco's do on NOS?

Funny replies :-)
My truck spends about 80% of the time with a load on in, or a trailer attached to it. Those who say I shoulda got ......... - I got exactly what I wanted, a stock truck that runs 14's tows 9000#, and get 20mpg on the highway, think about how awesome that is that ford builds such a wicked truck!
I did my homework, and the 5.0 should be good for 100 shot no problemo, based on the mustang crowd running 150+, and only pulling timing. With a window switch, it should be easy peezy. It's funny how some of the basement dwellers run to post about how the sky will fall, I've been playing the fast truck game for 15 years, this is t my first rodeo, and NOS has the fewest drawbacks as far as mods go.
Something to consider as well, the truck still has all the factory ECU protection should some detonation occur (no, it won't save a total f up, but it should cover bad fuel, or light knocking).
