the kit itself will work just fine. however, you might want to get the window switch and racer kit just for safety purposes.

i thought the zex system worked only on open throttle? so you didnt need a window switch

there are two big problems with nitrous that make it dangerous to the engine, and both can be avoided pretty easily:

1) Spraying at partial throttle
The ZEX system already comes with the WOT switch. This is not something to worry about.

2) Spraying at low RPMs
The window switch will allow you to set the minimum RPM that you can spray at.

Iuse the zex window switch , purge, bottle warmer and gauge. Also got a set of NGK TR-6 spark plugs.FOr the 75 shot the stock tune will do ....for anything over that and you need a dedicated nitrous tune.
