Talon will know more on the heads. Most guys go to a 2.02 valve on new heads plus a can and an intake. Nos does more than cool the air. Its combistable fuel under pressure that will raise cylinder temps and make a bigger explosion. Stock parts normally can't take a big shot of Nos.

i am using the eq heads. iron. 2.02's. i also sent mine to a shop and had them ported,valve job, and cc'd. the race shop was very impressed with them for a lower buck head. they were nice and true. no need for milling. i didnt want to up my compression because i was planning on a super at the time.(which i have now. just not installed yet)so i didnt want them milled anyway. i should have went with alum ones. they get rid of the heat better.alum are better for a boosted motor.

it all depends on what you are gonna do with your truck. mine is not a daily driver nor a tow vehicle. it took me months of research and thought before i started on mine.

i wouldnt do anymore than a 100shot on a stock bottom end.wish i would have went with a stroker now. but my motor only has 68k on it now and i could still see the cross hatches in my cylinder walls.

that is a nice kit that islacker linked to from hughes.

Would a 50 or 75 shot of nos hurt? if not what's the best setup(connected to air intake or a throttle body spacer....)?

Being a camaro/mustang guy im really not sure what stock internals on these trucks can handle, but i can tell you that a dry kit would be preferred. And also that forgetting that tb spacer is sound advice. There is more to it than just throwing a spray kit on your engine, you MUST have a tune done. No2 is a "semi" combustible gas that as afore mentioned spikes the compression ratio, but under compression and heat will lose a portion of the oxygen molecules thus leaning out the a/f ratio. Also timing has to be slightly retarded. Best of luck.

I usually don't comment on these posts...I usually smile go mmmhmmm and walk away.
But if you really want to make a heavy azz truck into a bad azz mopar, its gonna take some serious money.
And it will look and sound bad....but not be that fast. A truck weighs too much, has all the weight in the wrong places, and almost nothing for areodynamics.
But that doesn't mean you can't build a stroker with a blower and have some real WOW factor when you pop the hood.
Just choose your "battles" wisely.
