im goin for a 75 shot from zex
i heard zex is NOOO GOOD...im just going by what i heard from 6 people in one night at a mustang meet i was at...my tuner even said it...i was told N.O.S. makes an awsome kit just figured i'd throw that out there even though i dont no much about n20 kits
haha, I'm guessing none of those people have used a zek kit or any nitrous kit to say the're no good.

I used a zex dry kit for a couple years and it worked flawlessly, real easy to hook up, and worked real good with 24# injectors sprayin the 125 shot, I put a 125 zex wet kit on my buddies 02 GT, and the 100 shot made him a second faster in the quarter.
Ive since gone with a nitrous express wet kit and I like them both, but for a street car, I would reccomend the zex dry kit, the hardest thing about installing it is to find out where to mount everything, the 125 dry kit took me from 13.50's@103mph down to 11.98 @118mph.

just remember to upgrade your fuel pump to make sure fuel supply is adequate.

a wet shot is better for your internals, and wears out rings slower than dry.

Just throwing money at something you dont understand is pretty ignorant.
Search for hours about n20.
DSMtuners.com have great threads about nitrous.

by using the information gathered by reading, you can decide for yourself what kind of application you want.
take your current modifications, as well as future plans into consideration.
If youre going for 400whp, youll want a wet system.
If youre going for 300bhp, youll want a dry shot with a close eye on the tuning.
