I know someone else just posted a thread similiar to this, but i didn't wanna hijack his thread plus i have some different questions.

I know that I want a wet kit, and would prefer a plate system but not sure who makes the plate systems. And would probably go with a TB system for the right price. I would like to use a 150HP setup, but I see some of the kits (ZEX) only go to 125. Can it be rejetted to run a 150 shot? Are these kits rated for fwhp or rwhp? Can anybody give me any input on who sells the most complete kit? Accessories? Will definitely wanna put a warmer, purge and maybe remote opener. List of my mods is in my sig.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

suscribing also. Im pretty sure nitrous works and NOS do a 150hp wet kit. You will not get the 100% 150hp by just throwing the nitrous on. Im am unexperienced with nitrous but based off of what I hear is that in order to get maximum potential of the rated HP for the nitrous kit you will need a bottle heater, purge kit, etc. to keep your nitrous pressure where it should be.

I run a trickflow plate kit, the kind between the upper and lower intake. It is basically a rebadged NX kit and you can get it from NX for a variety of intake manifold manufacturers. The TFS kit is adjustable from 50-200hp and the NX kits are adjustable from 50-300hp since they have a larger set of solenoids.

My system consists of the following. TFS wet plate kit with bottle, Bottle heater with a pressure switch to control the heater(keeps it at 1100psi) and a purge kit.

The car went from 14.0s@100mph to 12.72@109 with a 100 shot. That is the only difference between the two passes. My nitrous comes on at 3000rpm and off at 5800 with a window switch. So its arm it, purge it, launch it and just keep the pedal to the floor.

I just installed a ZEX 125 wet system on my 2002 mustang saleen. I have to tell you it was a great install for now. It defently gives it a shot in the ass. It will do for now untill the turbo is re-built. Ran the eight mile in 7.89 sec. with a 125 shot. but the series 3 turbo ran it in 6.96. It sure is fun to play with though. american muscle $599.00 to my door. I suggest you buy the plug set up when you order ( It makes it simple). other than that the kit comes with everything you need (tank is empty).
