I agree with jeep that ZEX is bad but if you have limited N20 experience use the dry kit.

Go to the forum and ask every body else you cant use a wet kit on a sho because the intake was never designed to handle fuel it gets to cylinders 5 and 6 and it just puddles until the valve opens and you ending up killing a valve. the only way you can run a wet kit on it is if you do the 6 individual nozzles in the six primary runners.

I know what you mean w/out the picture.....a direct port.



The reason I ALWAYS reccomend a wet kit (even when you're new to it) is becuase it doesn't rely upon the stock fuel system to keep from going lean, which usually can't cope SAFELY with the added power. The wet kits take care of it themselves. Just follow jetting instructions.

I would normally go with you on that but it was for a guy who is a real moron and i think zex has a safety in it where if the vacuum isn't there from the manifold it wont shoot. Also the SHO intake cant handle wet kit and worse of all the automatics cant handle anything sorry if i made you feel inferior to me, you probably know more than me (you bought a mustang and i bought a expensive maintance sho) but just wanted to show you what i meant.
