Which N20 kit??? What to expect???

Mike Souslin · 07-12-2001, 11:07 PM

Hey guy's. I am ready to purchase a nitrous kit and I am between the Zex kit and the NOS kit. My mods are listed in my signature and I am very happy with the performance of my car but I am looking to lay the juice to her in hopes of a high 11 second pass. The results in my signature are on BFG Drag Radials and granny shifting the stock T-5 and clutch. Do you guy's think it would be possible for me to knock on the 11 second door with around a 100 hp shot? What kind of mph increase will a 100 hp shot give me? Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Running Stage 2 Avenger heads (51cc chambers), Stage 2 cam (.549, .566)1.7 Crane Gold Race rockers, Port matched GT-40 upper & lower, 75mm Bullet MAF, 65mm Accufab TB, MSD 6AL, Long Tubes through off road and Dynomax muffs. Stock T-5 and 3.73 gears. Big Blue Bottle on it's way!!!
Best time so far = 60'=2.021, 1/8=8.366 at 86.37 mph and the 1/4 was 12.926 at 108.94mph.

Man, it sounds like you have a really nice setup currently. You should try some slicks sometime, that 60' should probably be at least in the mid to upper 1.70's. That would put you a little deeper in the 12's. Your 108mph show's good potential. NOW put the squeeze on it and your gonna be needing a rollbar, you shouldn't have any trouble going in the 11's. You'll possibly go around 116-118 on the juice.

Good luck.

I think the ZEX only goes to a 80 shot, so you should go with NOS

302 LX Eric · 07-13-2001, 08:10 AM

I think ZEX now offers a 125 shot? Not totally sure on this, but I think I saw it in a recent article of 5.0 mag.

Mike, when are you going to buy it??!?!! I want to play, I want to plaY!!! Let's put that sucker on and get you kicked off the track!!! WOOOHOOO!!

Call me when you get to work today so we can finalize plans for FFW at Norwalk tomorrow.

Take care, E

I use an NOS Big Shot in my car. It has run perfectly on the street a couple of times and on the dyno several times. Unfortuneately my car always breaks at the track before I get a chance to use it, so I don't know how much faster I'll go, but it added 116 rwhp and about 150 ft lbs (with the 150 hp jets). I like it much better than the NOS dry kit that I used to have.

I run 13.9 N/A and 12.3 with a 150 shot. All of this on a stock motor, so you should see some huge gains.

NOS Dry Kit, 125 jetting, and I'm giving some of the local supercharged guys headaches. Even got a Regal T-type that respects the car now.

I can't wait to get it at the track and see what numbers it'll turn. All I can say for now, its one huge kick in the a$$.

NOSstang89 · 07-16-2001, 01:00 PM

It was kit # NOS-05115. It was set for 100 hp but I never had it dynoed with it.

I'm in the n2o market too. I'm researching it and think I'm down to 2 companies - NOS and NX. I think want to run 125 or 150. My next mods, before I get it are gonna be 1.6 rr's and up/lwr rear ctrl arms. Looking at my mods, is there anything else I should do first - clutch/tranny/shifter or full exhaust??? Or, should I wait on the exhaust and wait for the clutch/tranny to blow up?
