Every nitrous company that you guys are familiar with are inferior in achieveing max performance, reliabilty, and safety with nitrous. I'm not here to make the hard sale, so instead I can easily fill up pages of information and facts for you guys on why our nitrous products are the best in the world. We are the "ONLY" company that has developed solenoids and progressives from the ground up for nitrous use only. Everyone else has converted industrial solenoids and products to work for nitrous use.

So feel free to ask away as we can answer any question with great detail. Then if you feel like we are telling then truth you can then look at our products. Also keep in mind that we are the only company to offer a LIFETIME warranty on everything along with a money back guarantee. We don't even sell solenoid rebuild kits as the solenoids will outlast the original owner.

Thanks,
Denny

Hey Rob or Dirt or both, hehe. What's it cost to run a set-up like you guys have?

Dirt, what mods are you running with your ZEX? Did your nitros have anything to do with your motor explosion? I know your stuck with the 91 octane just like me.

TIA bro's.

One more thing. Nitrous is not nitrous. That's like saying a car is a car or a piece of furniture is a piece of furniture. There is always better quality to chose from and we are the best when it comes to nitrous.

OK denny,

One thing that bothers me is that the currently popular kits have the injection upstream of the blower.

I don't like this and I *think* it would be a better **value** to have it spray between the blower and the IC. Simple spray bar and placed right where the compressed air is the hottest. I donno... am I off base?

(I know at each injector would be best. But I'm not willing to go that route unless its competitive on price)

Rich,

The sooner the nitrous is injected the more your intake charge will be cooled. Unfortunately with a wet kit you will get worse fuel drop-out the farther you are from the inatke manifold. It's a very fine line on what is the best injector location. To close and the initial hit from the nitrous reaching the motor first because it is under higher pressure can cause a lean out condition. To far away and you get fuel drop-out. We have addressed both probelms the "best" we can with having a superior injector for atomization and developing the a progressive with a nitorus solenoid only delay feature so the fuel can catch up.

Direct port set-ups were developed by the other companies to make more money in our opinion. You only need a direct port if your intake manifold is designed very poorly for a single point injector or you are running a full race motor with excessive power needs. We have customers running 300 hp kits with single point injectors with the best results in their class.

I hope this answers your questions? If not I can elaborate.

Also, spray bars are crap as they are very restrictive and poorly designed. For our carb applications we use a plate that is drilled to accept our single point injectors on each side. This creates a vortex and much better delivery than spray bars.

Well I don't know who you are racetested ???
But if your kit is all that, than please show us a link and a price.
I would love to see someone re-invent the wheel, and I'm always looking for a better product.
BTW
WELCOME WHO EVER YOU ARE

As for Nitrous is Nitrous, I'll stick to that statement. They all use the same size jets, (yes some are made of diff metals) they all use the same pressure, we all fill it where ever, and all the solenoids are, is an electric operated valve that opens and closes and allows the pressure in the tank to pass through the jets and nozzle. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure some are better and yours sounds very impressive, but the results will be the same IMO on everyones kit using the same size jets.

I know of ZERO people who have had problem with a Zex kit. I've had other kits in numerous ocassions, and they worked just as well, but personally I think this Zex kit is one kick *** unit,
I think the way it's triggered is 2nd to none, and I've used Micro switches and buttons in the past on various systems, and hated them, I will never use them again. But I will stress once again, MAYBE your's is made better , please show us, schitt I'll take a freebie and be your poster child if you want

All I DO KNOW FOR A FACT is each and every person I know that puts a 75HP Zex kit on shows an increase OF AT LEAST 75 HP on the dyno, (most show more). To answer my Pal Mart Man, under $500.00 for a Zex kit if you hunt around. As you all know I'm in my 2nd year with it, it has works flawless each and every time, and it has always giving me a minimum of 8/10th's to over a second off my ET compared to my all gasoline runs.
I have absolutely no complaints

Thanks Ronbo. Now the looking around part, am I looking for a sale price on a new set-up, or a used kit? I'd really like to stay new on something like this.

I'm running the Zex kit too. So far this kit has worked great!! Here in California, 91 octane is the best you can get at the pump. I've been running a 4# pulley for two years with no issues. Although I do have a great tune for this ***** fuel. I run VP 100 octane unleaded fuel when I run the nitrous.

We have re-invented the nitrous industry.

We don't use the same jets. Our unique jet location in the outlet of the solenoids softens the hard hit and lean out condition associated with other kits.

If you read our product info you will see all the benefits of our solenoids over the industrial SS used by others.

Funny that you love Zex so much. We have an informant that works in the industrial market. The same brand of parker solenoids that Zex uses and hides in the box are very cheap. I'm sure you will get the results you expected as you don't know that there is something better. Look at the cars of the 80's. We thought they were good at the time. We obviously know that they are crap compared to todays standards and technolgy.

Also, the most efficient, reliable, and effective way to run nitrous is with a progressive unit. NX is the only solenoid that will hold up decently but still not close to ours. The rest will fail in no time. Our solenoids are the only ones designed to be pulsed accurately and efficiently.

Well, I'm thinking I'll go with the NX kit PSP has on special right now, plus it comes with the TPS which will negate the push-button activation everyone was talking about. They both look like great kits, but it seems like I'll get more for my money from Sal...

We are not in the vendors list becuase I was here to explain the true benefits and technolgy of nitrous. I never mentioned our company. I have no problem being a supporting vendor if the interest is here.

With that -4AN braided line everyone else supplies with their kits. It's way to big and inefficient for power levels below 150 bhp. We have various sizes of supply lines so that a purge is not even needed unless you use the braided line for higher hp applications. Plus you are losing efficiency and power with a line that acts as a resorvoir, because only part of the contents are needed. The rest is vaporizing and losing flow velocity.
