zex is dry and from what i hear, is a lot easier to install than a wet kit. meh, can't go wrong either way.

I'm not so sure any of the kits are complete. After you install a kit, you find out you need a bunch of accessories to complete the system for your needs.

If you want a complete n20 kit, then zex is the last thing you want. Go with NX.

A complete n20 kit includes:
1. NX Base kit $500
2. NX Genx2 kit $250
3. Window switch $75

The Genx2 kit comes with: Purge kit, fuel pressure safety switch, bottle heater, blow down tube, switches, and relays.

If you want the more controllability you can subsitute the window switch for an NOS mini progressive controller. Its what I have, and it makes the n20 like a dream. I think I paid like $250 for it. You can run any size shot you want. Like you can switch from a 10hp shot to a 75hp shot in around 15 seconds while your driving. And you can ramp the n20 up or down. Trust me, you cant do that with a zex kit.

Your right, the Nex kit has to be rejetted manually. They do offer a track kit that has all Genx2 stuff, it's about the same price. Trouble is they don't tell you up front you really need it. The progressive controller sounds like the hot item! I'm gonna look into it.

Zex has wet kits too.

You will have to put some money into the other goodies regardless of what you get.

Zex is hands down the easiest kit to install, but like everyone says, there are other items that you will need to get seperately.
Nitrous filter,window switch if your a manual
other odd's and ends.

You dont NEED a filter or window switch with a zex kit. The only other things you need are sct 4 bank chip, one step colder plugs (if your runnin a big shot), and thats about it. The module or brain only opens the solenoids when you are at wot over 2k rpm's. Besides that fact, you cant run a zex dry kit on any stang 99 or newer. They dont have a fuel return system required for the kit so you would have to go wet if you want ZEX.

Zex does not have any way of knowing what RPMs you are at. Zex is basically crap and full of gimmicks. It does not shut off when you get lean. It also works just like any other system. You CAN spray too soon with it. The so-called "brain" only contains a couple measley solenoids and a WOT switch. Thats it. Just get NX with all the parts I listed above and it will be a safe running motor for a long time.
