Does anyone know anything about this kit and if it's everything I need?

Or this one

Or the Zex

Any recommendations would be great, It's either long tubes or nitrous, but I don't want to get into a bunch of hidden costs. If you know of better deals or have recommendations please advise! Thanks!
 
Out of all those id go with the Zex.

The Sniper kit is entry level, and if it has everything you need (looks like it does) then im sure itd work fine.

The NX Mainline kit... I did some research on that a while back. Notice those silenoids look like leggos compared to normal nitrous noids... not sure that they are of the quality that other NX products are. I also think that comes with a button to activate the nitrous and not a WOT switch. I may be mistaken.

With any kit you buy, its also a good idea to have a window switch at the very least. Even better is a fuel pressure saftey switch also.

And make SURE that the kit you have has a WOT (wide open throttle) switch. The ZEX kits use an electric one that is included.

Also you will need 1 step colder plugs if you are running under a 150 shot.

You may want to get a purge kit also, but it is not needed.

Its a good idea to put the car on a dyno and check your air/fuel ratio while spraying. If they are out of whack plan on having the car tuned unless you want to blow it up.

You cannot have a performance tune on the car that ISNT a nitrous tune. Advanced timing + nitrous = bad news.

I had a kit priced out along with all the accecories last year, but at the last minute the money had to go to something more important. There are odds and ends that add up, but nitrous is a HUGE bang for the buck.
 
not sure what kinda car you have but if its a 2v i recommend getting the plate system from NX. this is the kit i am running. its an excellent system. I have run the 200 shot in mine a few times(not recommended you do this though lol). I am just one crazy sucker that decided to give it a shot after some tuning with it and it gave it a good kick in the pants. but i have been running the 150 shot safely for a while now.

I dont have a purge system on it either its not really needed at all it just looks cool. Def get a bottle warmer. i recommend the dyno tune nitrous warmer. its pretty cheap and it does an awesome job heating the bottle. dont go with a zex warmer. they dont work very well at all. it is a thermostat controlled system you want something that monitors the pressure and then kicks on when the pressure drops below what you have it set at.

and if you manually spray the nitrous with a push button a window switch is not really needed you just have to pay attention that you dont hit the limiter.


dont be surprised though if you spend a lot of money on nitrous when you first get it lol. its very addicting but that will slowly go away when it eats a hole in your pocket.
 
Here's a list of my mods,

4.10
planned long tubes
OR / X
Full Mac cat back
VT stage 2 NA cam
Mac CAI

I plan on buying a tuner instead of having someone else reprogram all of the time. Can my new tune for the nitrous be done on this or should I just take it in?

if i were you i would get a sniper tuner then cause you can have up to 5 tunes loaded on the tuner. I have tunes loaded on there for an all motor tune 100 shot, 150 shot and 200 shot. all you have to do is click on nitrous and wet or dry kit and the shot size and then it builds a base tune and then you load that to the tuner. its really nice. once the base tune is built you can fine tune also.

but you will probably want teh commando software too with a wideband to tune for the cams if you are going to do that yourself. otherwise id say take it in because even the special forces sniper stuff wont be able to dial in the cams.

if he gets the Special Forces from me , I can adjust for the cams
