Best nitrous kit on a budget ...

No, but I have heard a couple of stories of the computer taking a ****, pulling all the extra fuel, and blowing the motor when it was installed correctly. Heard it happen a couple of times. I prefer a nice simple nitrous system. There isn't a single problem I can have on my nitrous kit that I can't trouble shoot with a 12 volt source, and a 9/16 wrench. As for the rest of the equipment, I would consider them upgrades that would enhance any nitrous kit but not required. If you want to get a lot of passes out of your nitrous bottle, you're going to have to warm it up a little.

The key word to me is "heard". I personally know guys who will blame ANYTHING but themselves for a blown motor. Then my friends tell me, "look I was there, he's a fuaking moron and kept bumping the shot up and not dropping the timing. Plus when I asked him what his plugs were gapped at... he hesitated and said they were gapped at what they were suppose to be, but didn't know what that was. You could hear the car detonating all the way down the track, but he didn't let out of it once."

I'm not trying to say bad things haven't happened, they happen all the time to everything. For instance I worked at a gas station when the new plastic coke bottles came out. You know the "curved" design. Let's just say Coke found out the hard way that they had to tighten the specs on the way they were made. When we received our first shipment, 50% of them you could get to blow their top off by dropping them 6 inches to the floor.

It was a rare occurance but we had a shipment full of them. It was dangerous for the customers and for me when I was stocking them. Now everyone reading this has heard of it happening to SEVERAL cases of these, but will this keep these people from buying Coke now? I still buy them on occasion even though I got drenched in Coke and about shot in the face.

Zex has more than impressed me with every aspect of their nitrous kits. Except for the damn brass piece on the bottle that the hose screws onto. The material is too soft and can easily be misthreaded or overtightened ruining the threads. I've had to buy one replacement already and am getting ready to buy a second. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the 45 degree elbow I have on the bottle. Who knows....

My point is, knocking a product on a couple of occurances you heard about isn't doing the product justice and doesn't necessarily make it inferior to others.

I personally have seen more **** blown up by NOS, and CompuCar.... but I know guys who run them successfully too.

Here's my buddys heads... Nitrous Works system:



He admits he heard it detonate, but didn't care too much.
