Default nitrous or not

I have two questions? How much psi should I have in my front wheels, when I drag at the track? And what are your views on nitrous, particularly the ZEX system, for a 95 gsr.

I love the ZEX, idiot prove if properly installed. I usually run 12-13 psi on the fronts, but they ARE SLICKS. Gotta love a 7000+ rpm launch!

NOS is great but how often are you really going to use it? Stick with all motor.

look. you should have about 20 psi on the stock 14"s. and for the nitrous go for it. dont do all motor. you have to be stupid with it to blow up a motor. i blew a head gasket because my dry nozel was too colse to my throttle body. now that its farther
it pulls super hard. just don t over use it. i used a full bottle in one night improperly installed and just blew a head gasket. dont listen to the guys who dont use nitrous. DO IT...

I had a good time with the ZEX kit when I was running it. My '98 Pulled EXTREMELY hard. Sadly a bad tank of gas cost me some piston rings. Oh well, it'll be really fun now.

We put my ZEX kit on my buddies Miata after I got done with it, and he ran 14.1 with a 75 shot, and didn't drop a single point of compression all season, after running about 8 or 9 bottles through it.

It's a nice kit. The NX kits are also very nice though, if you do want to go with a wet setup.

Just my $0.02.

fuggit , go for great all motor time and then get some nos just for poo poo and giggles
i can run high 13's with traction problems on all motor. . . . i have a bottle to run 12's with whenever i feel silly.
nos is great , but you have to keep up with it . real type r on thew r forum just blew 1-2 cylinders ,. he dont know why for sure yet though. melted plugs for sure.
