Question ZEX..NOS or.............

Ok...I recently did the mini-me swap and I'm just not happy with the performance 100% so I'm going to dig into my b16a savings and buy a nitrous kit....question is which one should I go with....nitrous express,zex,nos,venom,jg edelbrock.....my friend ran zex and it was hella strong but I've also heard horror stories about it...should I go with a wet or dry shot.??? give me some opinions ...please...thanks...

Talking

i've heard of people having really good luck with a dry zex 50 shot. place the nitrous nozzle as far away from the throttle body as possible so the incoming nitrous will cool your intake, making more power.

Wet in my opinion requires more work to be done, to be used safely and at its full potentail.

But hey, what do we know, we're all ricers.

Yes it does but it pays off in the long run. IMO, a dry kit can be used up to a 60 shot safely. Any more and you would probaly want a wet shot.

Just to add my 2 cents.. we have tons of cars that run nitrous here.. the BEST kit that we have extensivally tested is the Nitrous Express kit.. The Genx-2 kit is in my opinion (and also throught dyno testing) is the best kit, that makes the power that it says (I haven't seen another kit that does, but not saying others don't), and we have NEVER had any problems with ANY part of the kit.. We've tryed all kits, and only sell what works best.. which is nitrous express.. and definitly go with a wet system over a dry system.. no matter what kit you go with.

Venom is expensive! 3 of my boys have Zex and they're pretty impress with it.
