I just have the 55 jets on right now, once I get my dyno day, I will look into putting on the 75's.

Ive been thinking about nitrous for awhile just seems like everyone is against it. How does the motor respond to it?

It feels pretty damn good, thanks! Once I get it fully tuned in on the dyno next week, hopefully it will feel even better.

rock on, did you do the work yourself?

and also, nitrous gets a bad rap because it's not for morons. People feel the 55 shot, then want the 75, then the 100, then the 125, etc.... until they blow something. Then it's "omgz0rs nitrous ruines yours engines!"

Nice, but how would a 55-65 shot affect the life of your engine?

The same as any forced induction system (turbo/supercharger).

I installed a wet system in my friends Stang GT and man oh man is it the best bang for your buck. We got the whole kit on ebay and it works great. Generic but it works great.

I have had that intake on for about 2 1/2 years. Over 30k miles on it and no problems, never thrown a CEL.

This is the 82021 wet kit, plus bottle pressure gauge, purge kit, purge cloud illuminator and a remote valve opener. Dont have the exact figure with me right now, but it was about $1k.

Looks like a good setup you've got there. Personally I'm too scared to try all that at this point, but I'm sure you're lovin it! Good job.

I just added a cover for the bottle. It is all black and says ZEX across the side. It looks a lot less... er, gay. I will take pictures later.

I have to find another shop. The Speed Factory guys turned out to be asshats and blew me off on my dyno day. It is a definite hp increase.
