Very easy. I used black convoluted tubing to hide all the lines, including the line coming into thee cab. To the untrained eye, you can't tell the truck is juiced by looking under the hood. I picked the ZEX kit because wet kits are safer, and it supposedly adjusts fuel to decreasing bottle pressure. Also, the kit was five hundred something, so it's not one of the more expensive kits.

Hey blown whats up. I dont know if you remember me but we went to the track many years ago. I had/have a stock red L. Wondering how that zex kit worked out for ya? I actually bought the zex kit about 2 years ago and just have never gotten around to installing it. I have installed the zex on other vehicles and it has got to be the easiest no2 kit made. I was wondering if you got any track times with it? Also have you been to the new track yet. Really nice man. Hope to see you out there again sometime. Maybe one day I will get off my **** and install the no2 kit. Nahhh it makes my closet the fastest in town..

I think I remember you. Long time.....

The kit works fine, just the dinky drag radials I have could not hold it off the line so I really could not spray out of the gate. Then the 2nd problem because of the same small (short) tires was running out of gear at 111-112 MPH. I was spraying a 100 shot. So I would turn it off at the top of high gear after back pedalling out of the hole. 12.41 at 111mph is what I recall. I can tell you that with all the lost time between not spraying out of the gate and losing MPH at the top due to tires being too short, it would easily run 12.0's with a bigger set of drag radials. The kit is nice, easy to install and works well. I set it up as a quick disconnect for the cigarrette lighter thing to get it out of the way when not in use. I bought the kit to beat a friend co-worker. Even with all the problems I had between traction and running out of gear, I pulled a train on him in the mid range. He has 2 turbos on his 335i so I don't feel guilty.

You ever go to countyline?
