Zex nitrous question?? I have a 125 wet shot on my H/C/I 03 Z06, my question is are these kits rated as flywheel hp or rwhp? I p/u 75 whp and 101 wtq with a 125 shot, that seems a little low to me. Granted my bp was not the greatest ~925 (BTW, the Zex bottle heater blows!!), but I would have thought to gained atleast 100whp? any ideas?? Any suggestions?
I've been wondering the same thing. I just got rid of my TNT kit, which I sprayed 150 that hit really hard every time. Now that I'm putting on a Victor JR intake, I went with a zex plate system. I'm wondering what size jets I'm going to need to use to be able to get about the same effect. I'll start with a 100 for tuning purposes, but I'm wondering if I'm going to have to bump it all the way up to a 200 shot just to feel the same thing as the 150 I was using on my TNT kit. I'm pretty sure they're rated at the flywheel, but bottle pressure has a lot to do with any kit

Dont really know what to say about that, sorry.
What was your A/F ratio on the bottle? Jetting recommendations from the manufacturer are just that. Recommendations. You may need to go up or down a couple fuel jets to obtain an optimum AFR

What was your AFR on the bottle?? We like to see an AFR of 11.4-11.8
Depending on your AFR you might need to go up or down on the fuel side to get the AFR that you are looking for.

AFR was a little on the rich side at 10.7, and I did not have enough jets to dial it in the way I wanted. The only jets I had while on the dyno were the ones "recommended" by Zex. Started out with a 100 shot and then went to 125. While using the recommended jets for the 125 shot, my AFR was 10.1, I then put the fuel jet for the 100 in to get the 10.7. Sorry guys, don't recall the actuall jet sizes, I think I ended up with a .58 N20 and .30 for fuel.
Had I of known, I would have ordered a pletheora of jets to dial it in...noob mistake!!
I may go back to the dyno with some more jets, or I may just scrap the nozzle and get a plate!!
Do you think the lack of hp is in my A/F being on the rich side?

Verdad Gallardo That's not a little rich, it's way rich. I would go with a 58/27, and that should help get you to the mid 11's. That's heading in the right direction, and should help you start making the advertised power.
