ZEX is safe, I say shoot like a 50 - 55 shot with their plugs. I would also get a fuel regulator. ZEX is pretty safe because it comes with a control module. Another thing I would get is a good A/F gauge like a halmeter and watch the a/f while you are on the nos.

Yeah, I heard zex is really safe. It runs off the throttle position sensor. I talked to a guy at an import shop who was shooting I think a 60 or 75 shot. Said the engine doesn't need to be built up or anything. Just the plugs. Go for it, 75 hp for 500 bucks. Can't beat that. Check out venom nitrous too, more expensive, and more danger, but capable of 180 shot. Wow!

I sprayed on my auto all the time. With the Accord motor, I put about 75+ bottle through it. No problems. Then I put in the Prelude motor w/Accord tranny and that is when it finally took a ****. New auto tranny is holding up just fine so far. JDM Prelude. Works great.

Call me old school but I say go with a NOS dry manifold kit, and pump a 50 shot you'll be fine if you don't get stupid with it. I knew a guy that had a auto dx and he ran a 80 shot thru a single wet fogger system and he burnt a valve or two. 50 on a dry manifold kit and you will be very good to go.

Just take precautions so things go smoothly. Get colder plugs, only use 92+ gas when on the bottle, don't get too nitrous happy so don't being squeezing on cars you know you can beat, get an ignition system. Too much of anything is bad, especially nitrous.
