I don't think anyone has that kind of money here - All I usually here of are Zex and NOS dry systems. Although Venom has a new "Entry-level" System for somewhere around $5-700, I think it's the VCN-1000...


I'd get an EGT gauge, and an A/F Ratio gauge, along with a bottle heater. I'm sure some of the other people on here know better than I do, though...

Its all personal preference. I am personally using the NOS brand. I like it b/c it comes with 2 soleniods (safety) and i like to have control of my setup.

I think it was Venom that works on bottle pressure and fuel pressure. I like to control it myself. If you want one of those set it and forget NOS systems, then go NX or Venom.

NOS is the biggest name is more supported. Some people trust it more just because its been around a lot longer then NX & Venom. Their systesm are still kind of new and i have no idea how reliable they are. I know people who have owned the NOS system have been very pleased.

get a wet setup from nos. The other ones are kinda dumb since they are like computer controlled and they release the juice when they feel like it......but when it coems to racing....you want to be able to juice up your car when u feel its time.

Dry is the easiest for novice users. I would NOT use wet unless you plan on using over a 100 shot. Wet require more tuning.

ZEX is good. Again, im not sure how reliable the system is but im sure it works fine. As long as the Nitrous system is installed correctly, you should have no worries at all. Im not really familiar with ZEX, & Venom, NX is similar to NOS.

Zex is pretty good, but they aren't as adjustable as NOS. Also, last time I looked all their extras were pretty expensive - like bottle heater, purge, etc.

If you want a good, easy system and don't plan to upgrade then the Zex would be a good kit.
