There are so many issues with Nitrous alone. Like did you get a good fill or is it crap. Is the bottle full this run or am I almost empty. Then with the wet system it is always spraying the fuel, and if you run low on Nitrous pressure you are still foging the motor with excess fuel. I have seen the puddle effect first hand on a friends car. 2 months later the motor tossed the rod out the bottom.
I will pass on anything but a small dry shot pre maf. If you want more power then go get a bigger blower instead of trying to cheaply cheat the system. In the end your gonna need a blower and motor over time and who knows if its in a week or a year.

You get fuel puddling when you activate the nitrous in too low of an RPM which is USER ERROR! If you don't have enough air velocity to carry the fuel mist and keep it suspended through the intake, it will gather on the intake walls and puddle.

If you activate the nitrous above 3000 rpm (depending on the shot size, you may need to go higher) you will not have fuel puddling issues. Just adding a window switch with the proper RPM settings will solve about 90% of the "issues" you hear about nitrous causing.

Nitrous does not cause your engine to wear any faster than having the blower on the car by itself. If you use the proper fuel, have enough volume and the tuning is good, it is a reliable power adder just like everything else. The only issue with nitrous is it runs out.

Plus wet you know it won't run lean... But let's not get away from the subject. I am not about to start a wet vs dry debate...

Exactly! I'm so sick of non educated people saying that nitrous will wear you motor out quicler or blow it up. 99% of all nitrous carnage is user error.

Exactly why I am going to have a wot switch I'm out on using a button...
Run both a WOT switch in series with a window switch so you'll only get wot activation > and < a given rpm range.

You guys that are scared of using nitrous are really missing out lol. There's no better feeling than feeling like you're being rear ended by a train.

Thats what I had planed on doing wot and window switch and I'll have the fuel side a bit fat so I don't have to worry about leaning it out

I sprayed the crap out of my 04 cobra not one issue. Lack of intelligence when dealing with Nitrous is the number one cause of failure. To many people have watch F&F a few too many times.

With a 4# lower, CAI, Offroad x and magnaflow catback my car made 555hp 709tq to the wheels. This was with a 125 wet kit.

Just do it. Or i'll spank your ass at the track. ;-) FYI. Eaton uses a new coating on the rotors. It doesnt come off. I would bypass the Zex kit and call Steve @ Induction solutions. He's one of the best.
