Stock blocks are fine for 150 and below, read the newb sticky in this section and it will give you all your basics.

This is all you need to do!

But seriously, used the correct plugs (not tr6's) and pull Correct amounts of timing and it will last forever at that power level sir.

I would recommend someone other than Zex. There is better product out there for the money. And it wont be purple...

Default 125 zex shot user here

i've sprayed my completely stock lt1 through 6 refills. only had the car for about a year, but i feel like a use the nitrous all the time.
it's all in the tune

I use a WOT switch and lift between shifts. don't spray it through 5th and hell i don't like to spray too long in 4th. don't hit that rev limiter (hard to do on street tires with the spray)and you'll be fine.

What battle?

No offense toward TSP but why would you call them? Why not call a nitrous company? Nitrous Express, Nitrous Outlet, etc. Or even guys like atvracer or other big hitter who have actually sprayed the big shots and blown up parts on there own dime.

Again by no means knocking TSP. Good group of guys.

Spark plugs are part of a correct tune up.

Correct parts + good tuning = Fast car. You need both

Window switch sir... Regardless if you get away with it, its not the safe or correct way to do things. Not trying to preach at you or anything but we should try to keep good solid information, not things that are a mistake away from putting your car on youtube.
