Zex is not a NOS setup... it's a nitrous setup. N.O.S. is another brand called Nitrous Oxide Systems (which is better in quality anyways).

......My Baaad,........i know there is a brand N.O.S, but are'nt they all Nitrous Oxide Systems, and the only differance about N.O.S is that they got the copyright.

Well, as for installation, it's not difficult. You just need to follow the instructions. I don't have first hand experience with Zex myself, but I do know three people that had Zex, and go rid of their kits for N.O.S. ones... If I were you, I'd recommend a wet-setup, which adds extra fuel when nitrous is applied. I'd report more now, but I'm so inudated with tasks at work, that I need to focus on those.

I have it in my car too.It definitely makes a BIG difference.You should also have an intake ,header ,and exhuast too.I love it and have had no problems.I highly reccomend it
Installation was pretty easy.

if your running a fogger, the NOS (nitrous oxide systems) kit will always hit harder. the zex nossles are **** and dont provide good atomization. When running a fogger system before the t-body, atomization is very very important because once the nitrous is injected into the intake plumbing it is yet to be mixed with the amount of fuel that will come from the injectors. Once the nitrous is in the intake plenum there is absolutely nothing that can be done to dictate whch runner that the nitrous (or the majority of) ends up in. Think of it like this, piston one will have more sucking force on the plenum than piston four, since it's runner is closest to the throttle body, this may be diffucult to understand, as this is part of energy equations and how they corrolate with piston speed and vloumetric efficiency. Granted, this difference is negladgeable, but it is definately measurable.

Moral of the story......buy a NOS direct port, and if you have the patience, put the NOS foggers on the bottom side of the runners. This too provides better atomization.
