That is pretty impressive. I worry a lot with just my six pound lower. I have thought about throwing a wet 50 shot but I am chicken. I imagine with some care and really good tuning it probably would be ok. A person I trust says it could be done safely.

Does 10secL run a dry or wet shot?

99-00 Blocks are supposedly more stable than the 01-02 blocks too! Maybe that has something to do with it?

He has the NX Ford EFI kit. So it is wet. Everytime I see Hankfan's set up it reminds me exactly what 10secL is running. From the mounting location of the solenoids, bottle, and even the switches...

Ive got over 100 1/4 passes with a 6lb and a 75dryshot.No problems yet.Ive got about 8000 miles on the truck.see sig for times.Im about to go 100 shot,well see what happens.Im just lookin for a reason to get into the 10s.Good luck on your quest.Any questions just ask.Most will tell ya to go with a wet shot which is safer but for about 500 you can get started with a 75 dry.Its all in the program.Pull lots of timing.Should be O.K."Should"J.L. sells nice blocks.Ihear they go 10s.lol

Several are running a 100 shot on the stock block....however not too many are slapping a 6# pulley on top of it

I run the EFI single nozzle NX kit.......Previously i had the NOS 05115 kit.......On the dry i sprayed 75 with a 3# lower. Since i switched to the NX i have upgraded to the 5#lower..... As easterisland said I have been running this combo for a year now on Stock bottom end. Its given me no problems so far. I always run the 100 shot and I use it alot! I have sprayed the 150shot a couple times as well. If it was me I would be careful of spraying and overboosting anything but a 99/00 Lightning. There are a few 01s running around with basically the same combo as me but its not gonna last forever! So we just have fun while we can! I know before long an engine is in my future......Hopefully it will hang on another season!

Hankfan is the master mechanic of the family

DL has nitrous? Is it hidden or something, because I haven't seen it.

I hear Hankfan likes to paint also. Maybe he could paint some flames on my nitrous bottles...

Man you guy's wouldn't be hard on a guy would you??? I will never live that NOS dry kit install down but...... We all know who figured out he killer looking install on the NX kit. Seems like there are a few copy cats out there, especially with the fuel seloniod mounting location.

Can we throttle down the Juice for less power ???
I'm going with the Zex Wet Kit and I was wondering
if there's a way to cut it back to say 35 or 40 HP.

$500. and change for that HP Is a great deal and I would feel safer and would benefit greatly from the SUB ZERO WONDER JUICE COOLING THE T/B, Manifold, S/C + Intercooler

I found this

Select Size:
.032
.034
.035
.036
.038
.040
.043
.046
.052
.073
.078
.082

High quality precision machined jet, price is for single jet. These jets are compatible with nitrous and fuel. Select the size(s) you need and add them to your basket.

Does anyone know what comes with the standard ZEX #82021 "WET" Nitrous Kit-Complete 55-75 HP
