LOL! I'll pretend like you didn't just ask that. Go ahead and slap a 50 shot on a stock 10+ yr old motor, with probably what 100k+ miles assuming? Without a tune to top it off. I'm not trying to be a D**k here but do you honestly think someone's going to tell you thats a good idea?

Jesus where to begin... No just no. NOS has no business on a stock F150. And if it did, it would cost way more than $100. I won't even comment on the 50 shot... Maybe do a little reading on nitrous.

I don't know what you guys think is going to go wrong. Buying a $100 NOS kit from "some guy" and slapping it on a fifteen year old truck sounds like a great plan.

Take pics, OP.

A few things.

A 50 shot on a well maintained motor is fine and generally requires no tune.
We do not know the condition of the OPs motor
Never trust a NOS setup that was bought used.

Well i saw on another thread that 50 shots was fine but there wasn't much to read because most rims were deleted so I wanted to make sure and ask on here, but if its bad then i don't want to risk it with out a tune

I ran a 125 shot on a 1990 5.0 Mustang but the motor was fairly new at the time.
