I personally believe the 75 shot is a rather 2 small for our engines. It does get lost inside the combustion chambers. I am currently running a 150 shot with no problems and I might go up to a 200 shot. What I dont like about the kit is that I would prefer it to be 2 different foggers for each TB Intake. So you could spray 75/75 into the two opennings. Also nitrous is very safe, nitrous doesn't blow engines up; people do.

Did you get a custom tune to run the 150?

I dont know about that Bro.Everybody who has been in my car sees a huge differance with the 75 shot!But I do like the larger shots.My tires dont,but I do!LOL!

Yes you have to get a custom tune for anything over 75, and anything less than a 100 will probably get lost within the engine.

I agree. The 75 shot was a serious kick in the *** for my car. You could really notice it. That lasted for one afternoon, then the 100 shot jets went in. a week later I upped it to the 125 jet's, and thats where I've stayed since september.
The juice is addicting!

I've been running the Zex kit since my car was two weeks old. The kit is not as complete as they advertise. Your gonna need some extras to run the higher shots. I have mine jetted for 125 HP as that fits my needs and does not drain the bottle too quickly. #1, I added the colder " zero" spark plugs to prevent pre-detonation. #2, I added a heater for the bottle with a high pressure switch that shuts the heater off when the bottle reaches the correct pressure. #3, I was having a problem with the engine light coming on, the codes were reading lean fuel mixtures. #4, I added a fuel pressure gauge and found that when shooting the nitrous my fuel pressure was dropping below the required pressure. #5, I added a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump to raise the fuel pump volume so it could keep up with the demand. #6, I added a Hurst T-handle shifter with the nitrous button so I could keep it from shooting every time I floored the throttle, now it only sprays when I want it to. #7, Make darn sure that you turn off the Traction Control System whenever you plan to use the nitrous. The TCS will actually shut the fuel pump down if it detects excessive rear tire spin from accelleration. This can spell disaster if it shuts down while spraying as the engine will go full lean. I also added an alcohol injection system from Snow Performance. Thier system allows you to run the timing more advanced and also cools the intake air by 40 -50 degrees, this creates even more HP while spraying. So far all this stuff has been needed to make the system work like I want it to. Also, first gear is a joke to spray in, you will mostly stand still and smoke the tires away. So, I don't spray until 2nd gear. Anyway, in a few months I'll be taking most this stuff off and adding a Kenne Bell twin screw supercharger.
