Default Help!! Zex Owners

I just did an install of a zex nitrous system on my 97 vette and was wondering if I have to reprogram the box everytime I disconnect the battery? Another thing is im running the 125 pills and was wondering if that was actually measured at the crank or rwhp? Im thinking about putting in the 150 pills but im waiting to see how the car runs with the 125 shot. Has anyone actually dynoed with these kits to see if the #'s are close to what zex is advertising? Thanks ahead of time for any and all help.

Negative.
Zex hp is rated at the crank.
About the battery disconnect, good question.
Give her a try and find out.
After you reconnect the battery, turn your key on w/o starting the engine, arm the zex system and press the gas pedal to the floor. If you hear the 'noids click, your good to go.

im pretty sure you dont have to reprogram that when u disconnect your battery....the red wire is only hot when the arm switch is on so there is never constant power to the box....

You know, you are absolutely correct.
