Thanks for the offer, however I am still not to comfortable with using nitrous, I had heard that the Zex kits were the safest, but have now read a few horror stories with Zex kits to. So I am going to hold off for now.

You should be ok with a 100 shot wet, with RPM window switch set for 3k-6k RPM operation, electronic wide open throttle switch, and fuel pressure safety switch. With dyno tuning and a custom chip, it's quite safe.

nirous is very safe if you just get a wideband done and make sure it is a safe AF ratio


and a wet kit or dry kit can be tune by switching the jets, so actually you really do not have to tune the computer (it is better to do so) but you dont have to..........


if i were you i would get a computer chip........ so you can change the AF/ timing .........

a timing adjuster is like $175 so it is cheaper in the long run to just get a chip and do the timing that way...........


jms or a flip chip is good to have so you can run an all motor setting and a nitrous setting, one with timing advanced, and a leaner AF and one with timing retard and a richer AF

everything looks good if you get the timing in order...........

all the kits come with directions. and they are very simple to follow. if you buy my zex kit it comes with all the directions for it. you set it up so you only actually spray at wide open throttle. it is very simple and self explanatory once you see everything. not to hard. i didnt know that much until i read the directions either.
