i have the zex kit. very easy 3 wire hookup. took all of four hours start to fin. but, the first two computer boxes i got had problems, but this one i have now has been goin for almost a year now with no hitches. oh, and i dont know as though the computer works as advertised. the car still seems to run rich on low bottle pressure?

other kits all have their benefits too, just do your research

looking at your times, is this your only mod? ( the nitrous that is) what shot is it, seems a 14.7 to a 12.99 is a great jump

EDIT: nvm saw your shot, but is it your only mod?

yes, nitrous, slp loudmouth cat back, homemade cold air. thats it. on a 125 shot i was impressed, and the n20 time was on a half empty bottle, she runs 13.2's consistantly on street tires

edit, oh yeah, and even a 13.19 one night on the street tires.

oh. one problem i found with the zex kit. if you want to be track legal, you'll need to buy a blow down tube from zex. they're internal syphon tube on the bottle is backwards, so the blowdown tube is tricky, you need one that doesn't bend, or just plumb it yourself i guess. and thats iff you put the bottle in the spare tire well

I vote wet too. It'll give you alot more room to play. That 75 shot will get really old really quick.

DONT GO ZEX!

ITS POINTLESS. GO NX/TNT/NOS

My total vote is WET 150 NX MAF PLATE SYSTEM.

I am biased though

lol, yes, its pointtless to be able to install a nitrous kit with three wires. no it cant be upped past 125 or so. im not sayin its any beter than the others, but it is easier to install. if i had my choice id have a TNT kit, but the zex kit put down lots of power, is easy to install, and aside from the ghey purple bottle and control box, its the cleanist kit i've seen.

i voted wet kit, brand, you can decide that on your own

just my .02

Talk to Nitro Dave, a sponsor, and he will help you decide what suits your app. ZEX puts down less power that other equally hp rated systems, but is simple to install.

Do a wet kit. Safer on the engine, and also make sure you switch your spark plugs. Cant run platinum plugs with nitrous. That is a mistake i have seen a few people make. A wet kit usually makes more power also. And i would suggest TNT, there ratings are to the wheels and i havent heard of them having any problems yet. You should also get a Timing Tuner. It costs a bit more than a window switch, but you'll need it when you get sick of 75 shot and up it to a 150 on a stock tune.
But whatever you chose, you already made a good choice, nitrous is the cheapest way to make immense amounts of power, and its damned fun too.

Another vote for WET, 75shot not worth the N20, go no less than 100shot, even that is boring after a few hits. 150 or better, now that = FUN!!! I am actually selling my NX kit, full setup. Going to a DP setup and 200+ shots Yes, I have an addiction!

Dry for 100 And Under I allways Felt WAS SAFFER of the 2.. HowEVER.. IF you Go ABOVE 100 WET Tends TO be the better Way to go.. Then you have your OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCE on SPRAY set ups.. DO you LIke The DRY or WEt on how they are set up. Read the Sticky See how they both Work.. Their Pros & Their COns. MY 2 Cents Says you will want to Spray Higher ANyway
