I have a NOS EFI kit on my car. I will try to get some pics for you but my trunk is torn apart right now as i'm making a full custom trunk to accomidate my sub, amp, NOS botle, and Battery box.

Could you give me the exact model number of the nitrous kit and pics of your engine compartment and other things involving the nitrous .

I would greatly appreciate it.

Where is Longwood, FL. ? I live in the Panhandle around Pensacola and would let you see my ZEX Kit if you are close. I aslo have taken pictures... Look under "ZEX parts" and "Vacume Lines" photos.yahoo.com/mp3owner
If you want the ZEX Kit I can give you the part number #82011 this is for most Fuel Injected cars and I would recommend the spark plugs too which are #82003-4 You can look here for more info on ZEX... www.zex.com

Can you acually feel the power when you hit the nitrous , Im Looking for more low end power to launch the car , is this what the nitrous will do?

N2O is not really used on the low end unless you have ***** of steel. Low RPM's and Nitrous don't go to well together. The ZEX kit is alot easier to install than the NOS kit I just wanted NOS. jjjThe ZEX kit could be put on in maybe 3 hours I've done it before but it took me the better part of 5-6 hours to install my NOS kit.

So what would happen if I floored it from a stop , with the Nitrous Armed?

Would there be problems since the Nitrous is set to spray at WOT?

Or should I floor it then around 3500k rpms set the switch on so it sprays then?

You can use it as long as your above 3000rpm's You can use it in first but the gear will not last long at all so it is better to wait for 2nd gear to use it. You will feel it for sure through 2nd and 3rd. It's not ment for top end either, so I wouldn't use it after 3rd maybe a little in 4th but it wont be felt all that much. Atleast not my 55shot isn't. That is the most that can be used without a fuel managment system(55shot).
Install is easy and strait forward, just run a line from the front of the car to the back, mount your bottle, mount the computer module, run vacume lines and drill hole in intake for nozzle and that's about it.

Yeah ,

So beginning of 2nd gear would be the prime place to use it then.

Thats where i need the most help.
2nd gear is pretty long in the 2k 4 speed automatic.
Think 2nd goes to around 72 or so , pretty long.

Thanks for the advice thoe
I want to feel a kick in the pants when I floor it !

I wouldn't spray until you hit 3000rpm's as to not blow anything or put too much stress on anything.

Yea the beginning of 2nd gear when it shifts out of first is around 3800 rpm , so it would be the perfect time to spray.

Is that when you spray around?

I ran Zex for a few days until I found out the hard way that I hooked it up wrong! If you install a N20 kit do it right! If you are unsure, ask the Tech Support line, or someone who knows what the hell you are doing. N20 will work great, the question is if something goes wrong, can you afford the aftermath? By the grace of God, I was able to. I sold my N20 kit, cause I can't afford to ***** my new FS-ZE right now.

you said when IT shifts.....does that mean your running nitrous with an automatic transmission?
