I really want to start making cheap horsepower and I want a supercharger, but I don't need the power all of the time, just when I want it. I was looking at this zex wet kit from MU, good deal? I am alos going to get a purge kit, b/c that is just sick!

actually I think Nos is the one that uses the gas pedal. Zex uses the TP sensor to trigger the nitrous.

Off topic Does anyone know web sites where you can find nitrous refilling stations?

Wet mixes the nitrous right at the injectors & a dry system injects it right into the air intake sytem. You have less of a chance of the nitrous "puddling" & causing a backfire (very bad). Dry systems are usually good up to about a 125 hp shot. Anything higher & I would use a wet system. Any dry system should be fine (Zex, NOS, Edelbrock, Compucar, NX, etc.). I'm using an edelbrock Kit on mine. A mostly stock motor should be able to handle a 75 to 125 shot with no problems.

Why not save the money for a set of heads? Nitrous refills are expensive, and if you land up buying the xtras for the kit, like the purge, bottle warmer, remote opener, you are way up there in price.
Last i had heard locally a nitrous refill was $65+ a bottle, that's just too much and will add up so quickly.

I see the nitrous as a last resort, after your h/c/i is already done.
Just my opinion.

And before poopdawg shows up and say i have no experience.
I DO.
I had a NOS dry kit, it had a big wow factor for my friends, but that's about it, I used it with a 100 shot, and my h/c/i car now would outrun it anyway. Back then fills were $45-50. It really was no fun, i spent too much time worrying about wasting it, which i said i wouldn't do and i did anyway.

I highly doubt any Bolt on HCI 5.0 would outrun a 100 shot stock car. Nitrous = Torque... and Torque is tEh Win!!11!!!

So you think a 100 shot stock mustang can beat a good H/c/i car at even weights? Some guys have trouble getting a 100 shot car in the 12's, when any good h/c/i car can run 12.50 and some much quicker.
torque or no torque, it's unlikely to happen.
I've had it both ways, and i know what is faster.

And BTW sally, nitrous prices vary from place to place, read a little closer, i stated "local", you may even pay more than that at the track.
The cheapest i've ever paid here in NJ is $45 for one bottle.

I'm saying give me a stock 5.0 Mustang.... At 195 rwhp... give me your typical HCI 5.0 Mustang with 300rwhp... Let me throw a 100 shot on it (most are rated at rwhp)... I'll make 300 rwhp, but instead of peaking... I will have 100 more HP THROUGH OUT the RPM range..... then let's not talk torque. The nitrous motor will probably make 350 RWTQ at it's peak, and KILL the HCI on average through the power band. Again.. Yes... Give me a 100 shot on a stock motor, and put me up against your typical 300 rwhp HCI 5.0 and see who wins.....
