![]() I was just wondering if anyone out there uses or knows someone that has the ZEX nitrous kit for the 4.6 mustang. I read the article in MM&FF about it and was rather impressed with its simplicity and power output, and was wanting to know how it performs in the real world.

![]() Sorry to latch on to your post Crumbie... How much does the system cost and who carries it? I read the same article and thought the Zex system sounded perfect for my stocker 96 GT. I am also curious as to how the install goes.
Thanks Stefan ------------------ 66 Standard coupe 200 inline 6 - Pertronix ignition, Flamethrower Coil, K&N, Clifford Perf. 6 into 2 headers(not installed yet), Holley carb, three row radiator 96 GT Convertible K&N (more to come) Where'd my money go? |

![]() To be honest, I can't remember the exact price. I think it was around 500 bucks...
There is a contact number over at www.zex.com |

![]() Thanks Hammer. Would this be something to look into on an unmodded 96 with roughly 57,000 miles on the clock? I would think the low 75 horse shot couldn't hurt too much especially in a well maintained car. The price is definately more appealing than a supercharger (for now...)Mwa haha...
Anyway, I need to get something on my pathetic mods list. (again sorry for invading your post Crumbie - I just figures it was easier than starting a new post since it's basically the same topic. Thanks Stefan ------------------ 66 Standard coupe 200 inline 6 - Pertronix ignition, Flamethrower Coil, K&N, Clifford Perf. 6 into 2 headers(not installed yet), Holley carb, three row radiator 96 GT Convertible K&N (more to come) Where'd my money go? |

![]() Me casa, su casa Stefan....
Hammer: is there anyway we can get some before and after times from you? T-Bone: Not sure which issue it was in, but I'll check. Don't quote me on this, but I think the stock 4.6 they put it on was sending @190 hp to the rear wheels. Not bad for a motor that gets constant bashing. I was quite amazed with that figure alone. After the nitrous was installed, I think it gained @70+ to the REAR wheels. Not bad. I'll run a check on these #'s and let you know which issue it came from.

![]() Unfortunately,
I just have the section on the ZEX system, the rest of the magazine was "retired" by my wife. ![]() The test for MM&FF used a stock 1997 GT (except for a K&N filter) Stock #s: 190.7 HP (rear wheels) 269 lbs.-ft torque With Zex 75 shot: 259.9 HP (rear wheels) 379.9 lbs.-ft torque = 69.2 HP (rear wheels), 110.9 lbs.ft torque Not too shabby.... I'll try to have some firm numbers my next trip to the track... ------------------ 98 GT Dyno-Max cat-back exhaust, 3.73 gears, Steeda shifter, Ford Motorsport Underdrive pullies, 87mm MAF and Roush cold air kit... |

![]() If anybody is interested the ZEX install article is in the March 2000 MM&FF.
Stefan PS - The K&N isn't cutting it alone so I'm accepting donations to the "Let's Get Stefan Something More Than An Air Filter Fund" Cash and checks accepted ![]() ------------------ 66 Standard coupe 200 inline 6 - Pertronix ignition, Flamethrower Coil, K&N, Clifford Perf. 6 into 2 headers(not installed yet), Holley carb, three row radiator 96 GT Convertible K&N (more to come) Where'd my money go? |
