Best Nitrous Kit??
I'm sick of being owned by other cars, so I'm doing nitrous now rather than after all of my bolt-ons. But anyways, what is the best kit out there?? I've been thinking about zex and nos systems. But the nos systems are 700 bucks compared to the 500 dollar zex kit. Which is the best kit out there for the money?? Links would be great guys...

I hear nothing but good things about nitrous express, the difference between wet and dry it that in a wet kit you have both nitrous and fuel injected instead of just nitrous, good thing more consistant and more power, bad thing is if your not careful fuel can puddle in your intake and blow it sky high, some good videos of this floating around.

I have seen a couple vids of that happening and one on the show PINKS. It was pretty funny! Is a dry shot easier on your car than a wet shot? or vise versa? I am willing to sacrafice some HP for a safer more motor friendly system.

a wet shot can be very safe as long as its done properly, ie. wot switch, a window switch, a step or two colder plugs, and a fuel system that is in good shape. Those blow ups are due to people not taking the proper steps and/or putting down a 300 shot on a stock motor.

RE: Best Nitrous Kit??
i have a zex wet kit in mine...
wet is safer than dry untuned, because dry doesnt add the extra fuel, the computer will tell the stock fuel system to add it, and that isn't always correct, my zex wet takes the fuel from the lines, monitors how much fuel it needs, and adds it accordingly..
zex kit is easy as hell to install aswell... run the line to the trunk, install bottle, mount computer, line from fuel line to the purple box, tap intake, install nozzle, connect a few wires from the purple box to misc sensors

RE: Best Nitrous Kit??
just so no 1 makes the same mistake as i did. The 99 and up mustangs have a returnless fuel system and can only use a wet nitrous system. I bought a dry kit off of a guy and zex told me that in no way, shape, or form could i run it on the car because of my fuel system. we dont have a fuel pressure regulator on these newer cars so the dry kit wont work. good luck
