Zex Nitrous Kit

first off I dont have a lightning but i thought maybe someone here has tried it
I can get the kit for $400
I really want to start out at 35hp like the Nitrous Express kit provides but they list only down to a 55hp shot
I am not sure if this is going to be safe enough on my motor with these damn pistons
of course my brothers mustang has the hypertechnic pistons to and it has lasted 2 years almost on a 150hp shot and about a bottle every two weeks (big street racing scene)
I am thinking about the Zex kit because of its progressiveness and for it going off the bottle pressure to make the shot more exact
it also read throttle position off of your tps instead of the traditional brackets to make sure it comes on at WOT only
I also want their purger kit ($100) to give the great ol' snow effect
and I will get a SUperchip flip chip

what is everyones thoughts on this?
anyone try the Zex kit on any vehicles? Is it any good?
do you think I can get away with up to a 75hp shot?



99 f150 5.4

When I worked at a local Honda dealership (Coggin Honda), I met a guy w/ an S2000 that sprays a ~125 shot with the zex kit. He goes through about a bottle a week...he sprays all of the time! That car was an amazing rush at 9000rpm when he squeezed the juice.

If your looking for a good system try looking at www.texasnitroussystems.com it is a systems that works off of the tps and has a chip to stop spraying at a pre programed rpms. If you dont see the set you want e-mail them and they will answer shortly I know they have a set for our truck the L for $600.oo complete system. I have a friend who runs a STX ford f-150 5.4 and he runs a 75 wet shot all the time and he hasnt had any problems with it yet. Good luck with your search hope this will help some just wanted to get my few cents worth!!
