i would go with a wet kit becuase your cars fuel pump might not be able to handle the shot. install is easy, lots of tuorials online. zex is a good company but your gona be paying a lot more than other kits...

I expect to pay. I believe that you pay for quality. Will I need to get a nitrous pressure guageor anything else to go with it or would evrything I need be in the kit?

Here are the part I used:
Zex Wet Kit - 82023 (you can also use the new - 82217 for mustangs)
Zex Traction Control Window Switch - 82085
MSD GRM Pickup (don't remember the part number but you can also use a tach adaptor)
Purge kit - 82010 (optional but great for parades!)

Install was a breeze, and good instructions come with the kit. You may also want colder spark plugs and a tune if you plan on using 100+ jets.

From what I have heard zex rates their kits at the flywheel, where as other manufacturers rate theirs at the wheels. 100 shot from zex is really like 85whp, 100 shot from nx is 100whp. I recommend the nx plate kit. Installation is not bad, you just have to take your time and follow the wiring schematic. I personally reccommend the nx plate kit with the GenX2 upgrade, comes with everything you need.

EDIT: You will also need a colder spark plug, call NGK and they can give you the part # for the TR6's. Oh and I picked up 12mph on my trap with the addition of nitrous and Long Tubes on modest driving. I didnt shift as well as I could have because I was having some window switch trouble and was afraid to hit the rev limiter.

Go with NX if you want more power at the wheels. Both kits are good its just NX rates at the wheels while zex rates at the flywheel. Example both kits using the 100 shot jet, NX makes 100 at the wheels while Zex makes 75.

Theres no point in haveing a purge kit unless you have about a 150 shot right? But like you said I should still go with cooler plugs?

Yes you should def go with colder plugs, as far as the purge, i guess its your choice. My buddy's camaro has a slight stutter to it when he sprays for the first time, nothing major, but noticeable.

all this crap about how zex rates hp at the rearwheel and others at the flywheel is just all bull****. it varies by car. I have a 100 shot of a NS system same as a holley nos system and it gave me over 100 rwhp, its all about the tune and the jets...

i would never in my life pay extra for zex, all the kits are the same... zex just adds useless safety features that I would never use and tries to scare people away from other products that could "cause damage" to their car.
