Really?

I didn't know that.

My friend's step-dad...or almost step dad (mom's b/f) was a distributor of ZEX so I was always able to hook some of my friends up w/ good deals from it.

The nitrous that was only used twice (once on the dyno, once on a non-tree track) on my camaro was nitrous oxide systems and neither time did it yield a problem. Though with ZEX, dunno, I guess some pple use it pretty frequently in small shots on the highway for their ricer racing.

Now that I think of it I've only delt with ZEX &lt;5x and one of them had a bad solenoid.

Suppose 1/5 isn't that good at all.

Hrm, thanks, totally changed my outlook on ZEX systems, I'll have to do more looking into that .
