Gotta agree with alot of other folks, the NX MAK kit is great. I was running mine as a dual staged set up and it made 723RWHP. Very clean install and great quality parts.

We have seen alot of the zex kits on the dyno. Many of the kits seem to have a large lean spike at initial power. If you do not have a wideband gauge you cannot tell whats going on. The ZEX kit works ok for low power settings... Some ran lean and never recovered. We have not tested the direct port kits.

I'm just going for the absolute stealth install so you cannot see anything at all and I'm hoping to do that with the Zex kit.

I'd be doing a 150 shot tops but not until I got a new fuel pump in the GTO, more than likely I'll be doing around a 100 shot. So with a 100 shot pill am I looking at 70 whp or closer to 90-100 whp? Anyone have experience with this?
I have the Zex kit for an LS1. Easy to install. My best understanding is that the power is rated at the flywheel NOT the rear wheels. Zex has been purchased by Comp Cams and is now part of a conglomerate with (perceived) Technical Customer Service suffering in my opinion. Ex...statements like "It should be okay if you do that" or "I don't know how to hook it to a window switch..someone will get back to you"....

I have switched to the NX MAF kit with people bending over backwards to help me understand their product and nitrous in general. NX has several guys who are more than eager to help us understand the basics or the details...which ever you need. Guys like Dave at Nitrosoutlet have taught me way more about what to do or NOT TO DO. I'd call Zex an okay kit...it's more like shopping for Nitrous at WalMart as opposed to dealing with a Specialty Shop. And if NX isn't right for you i'm sure that the specialty shops will point out what is...and ZEX may be fine for your needs.

I got the TNT kit now and waiting on my 90mm plate from Nitro Dave. I have had a NOS,NX and TNT kits on my car. So far the TNT kit has been my favorite.

Im in the market for the sprays. Seems like its TNT or NX. I will probaly just go with TNT.

I have not voted yet because Im no expert or ever used Nitrous. I dont know how much of the voters have are actually tried & used at least 2 of the systems.
