Default Affordable safe nitrous

This is the Nitrous kit for all of us who don't want to strain our cars tranny and engine, Get the Zex Safe Shot, Its half the price of a full nitrous kit and is a safe 15-35HP Shot of Wet Nitrous. The best thing is its affordable and a great beggining step to the 75-150hp Upgrade kit for the safe shot,

The Safe shot is $320

and the upgrade kit for more nitrous at 75hp-150hp is an additional $300

Not bad you can do one at a time and save money to just get a small advantage in a race.

I can't wait to do this kit soon by www.higherpowerautosports.com

visit www.zex.com and check out the safe shot, install in less than a hour

I'd do the Compucar bottle-in-a-bag kit before that kit.

The full Zex kit designed for our cars is $120 more and leaps and bounds better, so I'd actually do that. Depending on your MAF to increase fuel is OK for very small shot sizes, but I'd never do it for anything more than a ~25-30 shot.

Sounds like a pain for such a little shot- having to run all the lines, and having to fill a bottle still just for a tiny shot. Plus, you can pick up used regular kits for about the same price or a little more.

My friend who did my lowering for $50 bucks for all four wheels gave me a great price on the zex kit install like $50-$100 bucks and he is a pro at these installs, so he will do it nicelyy, I plan on doing this kit either next month or at the latest 2months max, Just depends,

Future mods

enclose trunk

add nitrous

do the duraflex lbody kit

maybe vertical doors we will see,

more engine dress up

then in the spring and summer

dash gauges, paint my dash trim in white

change my amp, finish off the led lights everywhere else

Can't wait till december for Hot Import Nights and if the big shows don't work out this year next year will be redemption with a complete custom Monte Carlo

He is a professional tech, we go back in football from high school, and I send him customers and he hooks me up, Its nice a little nitrous kit can be installed without all the worries of a big nitrous shot, this will help me compete against a car at hot import nights with a trubo because I will have nitrous so we will be on the same level but the trick is nonody knows how much nos I am spraying
$5000 turbo vs a $300 nitrous kit not a bad savings and trick up my sleeve.

IMO $100 for a nitrous install- especially a dry shot; isn't cheap at all. Lots of shops do an amp/sub install for a good deal less- and thats a similar amount of work.

I wish you the best of luck but I'm still not a fan.

I've seen three cars now blow up (literally blow up- fireball- explosion) from wet kits. Two from fuel puddling in the intake and igniting from a backfire at launch, one from a stuck open fuel solenoid that caused a BIG fire in the return lane (this one was just on Saturday at the track). Wet kits are awesome on carbed cars. I'd never run a wet kit on a modern fuel injected car. Modern intake manifolds are not meant to flow fuel through the upper and middle runners, period.

You'd be in much better shape (safer and more reliable power) just ponying up the extra ~$100 and getting the Zex dry kit that's actually designed for our cars. You could run whatever jet size you want- nitrous jets are like $5 each from Summit/Jets/eBay.
