I'm going to go with 245's at first because my offset is a bit lower than Atilla so I will only roll the fenders at first.

Once they are on I will see if I will be able to fit 265's without a pull etc.

I only want to do this build once and do it right. So i can spank ROGER & his ZEX KIT!
Here is a pic of Phil's8 oil filter relocation. It's over by the brake booster on the right side of the pic.

But with a bit of knowledge on how it works and how to use it properly it's a great power addition tool. But to get the most out of the ZEX kit the AP and coils are really gonna help. A 65 shot is quite easily obtained with the AP and coils. 55 shot is good on the stock tune and coils.
A 55 shot will get you another 30+/- WHP. You'll notice that. I was using a 75 shot and it would toss you back in the seat. Just ask Laythor.
I think for my own enjoyment I might get the Safe Shot, its conservative and will save me a lot of money. Im not too worried about horsepower gains with a larger shot of nitrous I just kinda want a little more pickup. I dont usually shift above 5000rpm and cruise at about 4000rpm.

So if I do decide to get the safe shot what will I need with it? Can I still use the BHR spacer and nozzle with this?

Atilla- if you find a used kit... do the BNR upgrade... the MM upgrade gives you a whole new turbo but higher WHP also....

All right guy's. I'm gone. Got a car show tomorrow morning sponsored by the local Police Dept. I have to get up early. Just get your questions together and bring them to the DYNO Meet. Or just let me or CRH know what's on your mind in a PM. Good night!

Your going to have to enlighten me on this "Safe Shot" your talking about. The BHR spacer will work with any ZEX kit. That I know.

the spacer is bought seperately Zumn....and since I am able to get things at WholeSale prices I can purchase the Zex kit for cheaper and just buy the spacer and nozzle. I do not really want to go with a big shot of nitrous..(you should know this if you have read any of the past 10 posts I made).

thats why i was asking him if he has had any experience with it and if he would suggest against it. He is not only a vendor here but a good contributor of knowledge thats why I was asking him.

....its not necessary to get the nozzle and spacer but its a convenience...and so your saying is I should pay more just because?!

from the link you gave me....

***the only additional part needed is a common hand-held programmer used to increase fuel enrichment for safely operating at the upper limits of the horsepower range.

aka COBB AP
