gift certificate!
Well, today was my birthday, and my girlfriend and parents got together and gave me a gift certificate for 500$ to Mustangs Unlimited!
I was thinking, since I already worked out a budget for suspension work and new gears this winter (while my babys in storage), that maybe i'd put the money towards a nitrous oxide kit.
Its a toss up between a nitrous express kit or a zex kit. Any recommendations which brand to go with?

RE: gift certificate!
haha yeah man i hear ya....
my parents and my girlfriend dont want me doing anything stupid to my mustang....like getting nitrous haha...but they wants me to be happy, and knows i'd probably end up doing it with my own money later down the road...
and trust me, this beats anything amont of shirts/ties/books/dvds/cds whatever else they could have given me....
since i've bought this car, i havent really had many other hobbies....you should see the stack of magazines and catalouges on my desk hahahaha
and yeah, i'm leaning towards the NX kit...just because I've heard more positive than anything else... mustangsunlimited also has a kit by NOS....but...frankly...i want to avoid the fast and furious jokes....and the same basic kit that NX or Zex put out for like 550-600, NOS is putting out for like 800...wtf is that about....

I really like my NX kit. But I've only heard good things about the zex kits as well. I would go with a wet kit regardless of what kit you decide...

RE: gift certificate!
I second .. or third the ZEX wet ... a friend of mine owns a mustang performance shop ( HarrisRacingINC.com ) out here .. and of course I see tons of stangs come in wanting Nitrous .. I'd def. go wet .. and I'd run either a 75 or 100 shot on a stock block and feel really comfortbale .. I ran a 150 dry shot on my truck but at the same time .. hated the lack of tuning ability I had with it .. I've heard of a few bad experiences with NX kits from being around the shop .. The ZEX kits just seem to be the more reliable of the 2 ..
IMO though .. I'd just get a generic kit and have your local shop wire up a window switch on with a throttle response control and save yourself a few bucks ...
Rock on with the JUICE !!!!
