been reading up on nitrous...
well i have been reading up on the zex kit lately and i am starting to get sick of waiting for christmas for the money to go f/i and then i'd have to wait until it got warm out again to install or i would kill myself in the snow/ice anyway. I am also having second thoughts about spending the money on f/i. I was wondering if there was a smaller jet than 75 for the zex kit like 50 maybe? I am just trying to be very cautious because i dont have the money to get a new motor if i blow one and my parents would kill me if i blew it because i'd have to borrow their cars to get to school and such. Now the biggest question is- if i were to bust something, is there anyway for the dealer to detect that i had a nitrous setup if i take it all off? Is a75 (50 if possible) shot safe enough to use maybe once every few days? oh, and where can i fill up the bottle if i got a nitrous system? I am very sketchy about nitrous so this is just speculation but some answers would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Now me... I could have probably done the same thing but it seemed very dishonest to me... I knew the risks I was taking... and besides if I filed a warranty claim, Ford would simply pass the cost on to everyone else that bought a new car... so for me the right thing was for me to pay to have my car fixed...
Also.. I did N20 first and then moved to F/I... I'm here to say... if you can swing it skip the N20 and go F/I!!!

Honestly, If you're that worried about it, just save up and wait.
Besides if you get ZEX, you'll always be jonesing for that power...
Go F/I and you'll always have it....
Not to mention you'll have bragging rights when you smoke ricers, because you didnt spray.

RE: been reading up on nitrous...
To answer your question ...Yes you can get 50hp shot jets and even a 25hp shot ones. I had my doubts also ..bough a used kit..sold it....now i got a brand new kit with a window switch waiting to b installed.
