RE: NOS
I like the zex kit so far haven't had a chance to do some real accurate number tests(my setup is not exactly complete can't decide exactly what to do). First I installed myself with a 12pk a beer and a buddy neither of us have any mechanical skill whatsoever but it went semi smooth. I cut off 4 tenths on my 1/4 but thats at a real bad track and on rims and tires I usually only use on the street. I beat a member on this forum who I won't name by alot don't know car lengths or anything but from 70mph he cheated and jumped on me and I caught him real quick and when I touched the brakes I was at 120 and he was only at 100. 250 shot is not realistic unless you plan on rebuilding the motor. And if u plan on going to the track dont forget the blow down tube the track won't forget to not let u run.

If you plan on never supercharging your car and want to live for the momment then go ahead and get a conservative kit and a good tune. You should be fine. Its a great feeling and bang for the buck.
But its addicting and remember NOS doesnt blow up cars people do.

I have run up to the 125 shot and pulled almost a full second quicker with just 75 shot. nos up to 125 shot proves to be acceptable without any other upgrades, other than retarding the timing a couple degrees and making sure you have good fuel.

Please excuse this question, I am still a newbie at modding, but it seems I have the bug....
I heard that NOS, NOZ, Nitrous, nitrous oxide system or whatever you wanna call it was really bad for your engine. Can the stuff blow a stock engine, or can the risk be totally controlled with a small amount of NOS being used ?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but if I put in spark plugs that are a stage colder for the nitrous will it affect my engine adversely during normal operation?
