I talked to Denny today

Up until I saw this system None of the nitrous system impressed me at all. In fact most of them scared the hell out of me.

This new system looks like it is going to be a awesome setup.

So come July or August looky out, I might just be going to the dark side with the wizard.

If I do I have some advice for the rest of you, Look out and get the F out of my way.

Nice

Don,
I think it's safe to say that a 75 shot on your truck even on your lower boost street tune will put you in the 10.9x's all day long.

So are you keeping your ZEX bottle or were you just using it because you still have nitrous in it? Just curious to see if you spent the extra money for the W.O.N. bottle...

Don,

I ran a Zex 75 shot on my truck with no issues. A/F's stayed the same. My new system from Racetested will be here tomorrow. I expect even better and safer results from this kit. I should have it on early next week for some testing.

THANKS EVERYONE,
and Thanks for all the Support and Help you all gave
(Except Gator, FU you Gator)
BE AFRAID GATOR
BE VERY AFRAID


I am extremly happy with the results, and have plenty
more power at my finger tips, we haven't even begun to tap into
yet. I feel 85-100 HP will be my desired HP eventually with this kit
MAYBE MORE

Don I can't agree more, this system changes all the rules,
when I read and heard about this lifetime Solenoid giving us what appears to be the first ever Solenoid specifically made "AND LIFETIME WRRNTYD" to be used as a Progressvie Pulsing Solenoid,
I was surely interested. And the Digital Nitrous Controlls they offer are simply amazing, I love this Minimax, I will finally be able to actually use my Nitrous on the street, and in a very safe manner to boot.

The jets in the Solenoids make sence too. When you think about it, 1000 PSI hitting a jet opening (the size of a hair) mounted in a Nozzle, has got to create an unstable and quite violent pressure drop. (not to even mention what a royal pain in the a$$ it is to change jets, been there done that) But with Race Tested the jets are mounted in the Solenoids, where it turns that 1000 PSI into a nice steady even flow, creating a very smooth delivery. AND THE EXTRA POWER OF COURSE
I surly cant say enough about the Customer Service I got,
RACE TESTED AND THEIR PRODUCTS ROCKS, SIMPLY AMAZING...


Glad to see others trying it, this is def something cutting edge,
SMARTEST MOVE I EVER MADE.
I can taste it, Dons going for it Big Time, think about it Don, all the Big Boys are using it now, GOT TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONES AND PASS THEM YOU GO BOY......

And 99svtlightning you dog, testing next week WOO HOO.....
BEST OF LUCK GUYS

Vinny will be next......

BTW
I bought Black Wire Loom just now

Rob,
...just curious because the WON kit is supposed to have a higher quality bottle as well.

These posts have to stop. I'm so excited about my Zex kit that's on the way, and all I'm hearing about is how this blows everything else out of the water, and is so much safer.

Please, stop... I've spent too much money... I can't buy another kit...

Oh, well. Setup looks great, can't wait to see what it runs. That progressive controller is freaking sweet, too... Good luck at the track when you run it.

Yes and no, yes and yes OR SOMETHING ?

Yes I'm curently using the Zex Bottle for testing, cause it's full
No I didn't buy the WOS Bottle "YET" because I was trying to save a few bucks. And Yes the W.O.N. Bottle does have some special features making it a better choice of bottles.

At this time one of our Brothers is hooking me up with
a bottle (THANKS JON, WOO HOO) so I can sell the Zex Kit Complete (with it's original bottle).
Eventually YES I would love to, and hope to buy a W.O.N.
Bottle. But now that I have such great street use with this system, I first want to buy an Automatic Bottle Opener,
this way I'm always Armed and Dangerous..............

I want to wrap up some loose questions not answered.

XLT,
A "WET" nitrous kit offers two solenoids and as you mentioned there is one for fuel and one for nitrous. A "DRY" nitrous kit offers a nitrous solenoid only and then it has a bleed line to a fuel pressure regulator. Supposedly this bleed line is suppose to increase fuel pressure to your fuel injectors via the regulator, but all the ones we have tested are very inconsistant. We have even found that sometimes fuel is not added at all.

There are only two main bottle manufacturers in the U.S. that all the nitrous companies use including us. The difference is I was having our bottles custom painted a charcoal metallic for a better finish and thinner layer of paint so the bottle can recover from pressure drop and heat up again faster. Others use powder coating that is very thick and the heat takes longer to get to the bottle and recovery time is slower. Problem is our custom paint costs a lot of money and is time consuming to haul the bottles back and forth to the painter. I can't justify it in our profit margin so I will be going the the black powder coating that is offered direct from the bottle manufacturer. The best option is a non-painted bottle with no layer of paint to have the quickest recovery.

We use a tradition valve like others also, but we have a new billet aluminum one in the final production phases that people should be very impressed with.

Rob,
I have not heard good things about any of the bottle openers. They are expensive and have had people tell me they had them go out in a month at times.
