Default 100 shot safe on stock LS1? HELP

Im thinking about buying a ZEX Wet nitrous kit from my friend for 200 bucks. All it needs is a nozzle and the jets. The car it might be going in is a 2000 Camaro Z28 with a stock motor. Car just has full exhaust. Iv been told that the blocks can handle up to 150 shot but i figure id be safe and stick with a 100 shot. The transmission is also an A4 and it is stock no stall or nothing. Do you guys know if this will be safe on the car? The engine runs strong and i have never had a problem oil pressure is good and all but the car does have 141k miles on it. The nitrous will probobly only be ran at the track. Also i need to know the best and easiest way to tap into the fuel lines. Is it possible through the Fuel rails?

100 shot is Fine. Make sure you check your timing. Also I recommend NGK TR6 plugs. And yes you can tap in right at the end of the fuel rail.

Ok thanks and my car does have NGK plugs but i dont remember if they are the TR6 or not they were like 3 bucks each at autozone. And so its ok to tap into the fuel rail with the valve on it right.

100shot will be fine. just make sure to run a tr6 and a tune would help further the safety factor.

FYI, ZEX is flywheel HP and not RWHP like everyone else or so I've been told.

YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE VALVE WHEN TAPPING INTO THE SCHRADER VALVE!!!!!!!!


It's just like a tire valve in the way you remove it. Make sure to have a rag under it before removing it. And watch out as it might spray pretty good. And don't use alot of force when putting the manifold on the fuel rail. Just put it on snug.

I would check their web site for install docs. That always helps.

Good luck.

Tapping into the fuel lines is easy as meentioned above. You can always go to your fuse box and remove the fuel pump fuse, crank the engine a few times (will not start) and then uncap the fuel valve. Won't be much fuel in the line after this. This isn't a necessary step, but makes for a cleaner tap.

Yep gotcha i think i currently have the TR55's in but i can go with the TR6's since i heard these are recommended for higher compression engines and anyone that sprays basically...and the car will also be tuned.

Hmm never knew that...The kit is a wet kit and 200 aint bad for it and i figured it would be a little fun on the DD lol...I got you and i work at a tire shop lol so i defenitly know how to remove the valves. Also forgot to mention this also has the purge kit.

Don't use the TR6 plugs. They are a projected tip plug and will act like a torch from the added heat from nitrous use. The correct plug would be a NGK br6ef.

You'll be fine as long as you get everything in there as suggested. Also if you've ever had a tune, make sure the timing isn't advanced any. There are a few accessories that I'd recommend to help make your system as safe as possible such as a window switch, nitrous filter, blowdown tube, etc. Feel free to shoot me a PM or give us a call if you have any questions.
