Which N2O Kit?


I decided to go with Nitrous for my power adder on my 5.0 5 speed, but I wanted to get some advice on a kit before I actually purchased one. I am looking to run up to a 150 shot of N2O eventually maybe more once I get my engine rebuilt...hopefully not for about 2 years though. My engine itself is stock with like 96,000 miles on it. I am the second owner and have all of the first owners maintenance records. I'm kinda going for a sleeper mustang and will only use it at the track in the summer. My mods are minimal but are BBK shorties, BBK H pipe, Flowmasters, 3.73 gears, hurst shifter and I may add an intake manifold later. I also want a plate kit. Here is what I am looking at, which would you go with?

Nitrous Express » Next Generation Nitrous Oxide Systems (this is my first choice)

Holley Performance Products Big Shot Nitrous System*02115NOS

Message

or should I just get a cheap zex kit? Also any upgrades I will need? What is the difficulty level of installing a kit, I have heard its not that difficult. Thanks for your input.

Why Not Just Run A Zex Wet Kit With A Fogger...easy Install And You Dont Really Have To Upgrade The Fuel For A 150...i Would Do This To See Where I Stand And How Much I Like The Spray...i Am About To Put A Zex Kit On My 5.0 5spd... The Plate Kit Is Pretty Much For Full Race When You Want Different Stages High Hp. Fogger Kit Should Be Fine For A Weekend Racer...imo

My Buddy Bought A Zex Kit With The 55-65-75 Hp If Thats What They Are...and It Ran Him About 650....and Took Like An Hour And A Half To Install And Hide Everything...we Put It On His Honda Hatch With A B18b And It Ran Low 14s on the 55.

a dry kit would be your best bet. i prefer the zex kit myself. EFI manifolds are designed to flow AIR NOT FUEL ! There is potential to have a backfire with a wet kit.

I forgot about the reg actually, but I was thinking a 255 pump, but wasn't real sure on the injectors, any advice on the size there?

This is the best kit that money can buy... These kits are for people that are willing to spend money for true quality.. Remember the prices are in lbs not dollars, but u get what u pay 4...

That is correct he is. He also answers every technical question personally. He def. strives 4 quality not quantity..

I didnt really read all of the replys i just sorta skimmed through em. Anyway i dont know if this helps at all but my friend had a 150wet shot sittin in his garage. We ended up puttin it on my car last night. All in all it took 3 people about a hour to get everything hooked up. I was on the wiring in the car. My one buddy did all the stuff under the hood and the other guy ran the nitrous line.

I started with a 75 shot cause i never sprayed before and i wanted to be safe. plus i wasnt sure if the pump and everything would handle the whole shot. Anyway after a few passes we went to a 125 shot and IT WAS AWESOME! Def my new favorite thing lol. filling them bottles aint cheap tho. Dam near 40 bucks up here.
