I've decided to look into nitrous for my 96 camaro. I'm new to nitrous, so I'm looking for something that would be a good starter kit. Mods on my car are: forged eagle 383 rotating assembly (about 11:1 comp), arp bolt kit, 230/236 cam with all supporting mods, #30 svo injectors, bbk fuel pump, and a the regular bolt ons plus a dyno tune. I found this zex kit and it looks pretty appealing due to its "active fuel management system". My questions are: 1. Is this a RELIABLE and SAFE kit to use? 2. What would be a safe shot to use on my car? 3. Would a tune with nitrous be necessary for my setup?

The ZEX system cannot activley monitor A/F ratio as it does not have any way to measure it ...is it a bad system... no

this will depend on the effort you put into the install and tuning

this will depend on how the engine is built, you can run 150 safely on a stock motor, a forged rotating assembly with the proper ring gap and tuning can run alot more than that.

YES....
BTW for just a little more ($699) we offer a plate system for the LT1 that can support everything you would want to do with your car.
We also have a single nozzle system, like the ZEX kit for $349...or the Nitrous Outlet single nozzle with higher flowing solenoids for $499. These leave you extra money to buy the accessories to make the kit safer and perform better.
