They make great kits. I'm currently running a universal efi dry kit, I bought used off of one of the members on here. No complaints at all, went together nice even though it was used. The good thing about the zex kits are that they run off of the TPS signal wire to read WOT voltage, no mircoswitches. I'm running a 75 shot on a stock motor with intake and exhaust. Last time I was at the track I did a 16.00 on the motor and on the 75 shot ran a 14.8@95mph (traction was an issue). I believe the part number of my kit is #82011, definatly a great starter kit.

Hope this helps
-Mike

hey thanks for the input ill be putting a dry zex kit on a b17 with cams, pnp,stage three clutch and light fly wheel, header, full 2 1/4 exuaghst, and an intake some other stuff ohh cant forget about the suspention. But with all my stuff done to the motor im hoping when i put the zex kit on ill get into the low 13s at the 1/4, because it should run like a 14.5 just all motor no spray. But another question do you drive your car daily because thats what im worried about hurting the motor and i need it to be reliable? thanks

Keep in mind, if you go lean, you'll be picking up pieces, makre sure you have more than enough fuel to hande the Nitrous, it's an oxidizer. I'm not a big fan of dry kits but they are okay if tuned properly.

I do drive my car daily, I usually have the bottle in during the summer, but disconnected and when I want to have some fun I hook it up.

I don't know how the Honda guys feel but I've found the A/F gauges are useless

unless its a Wide band 02 it's useless, which is the reason we drop $400 on an innovate LM1, then you can datalog your A/F and it's dead accurate.

a must for serious Tuning.

Well with most if not all zex kits they are run off of the throttle position sensor so when you have the system armed and are at wide open throttle(with the bottle open) the system will spray. I sprayed my whole trip down the track, except between shifts.
