Zex dry kit on a 97 max

does anyone have any pic's of their install. I just want to make sure I am taping into the correct vacuum line. I am new to nitrous and this will be my 1st time I looked at the sticky for setup pic's but most of the links are down

Ok, just do as the instruction ask and get vacumm from ANY port that get's vacuum.

Did the fpr get vacuum from the intake? If it does, use THAT port for vacuum.
You might need to get exra hose so look at your engine bay for alittle bit.

Splice into an existing vacum line.

Get a barbed "T" fitting that is the same size I.d as your lines and
simply plug them into the fitting.


Carefull with the dry kit and go to your dyno before something melts.

What size injectors do you have?
What's the fuel pressure on-nitrous?
Stock plugs?
What nitrous jet?


Be safe.

Pull your plugs and look at them after your first full-power run. 55-shot may not be too dangerous, but anyone spraying should know how to read their plugs.

"Lean is Mean, Preignition is Dangerous, Detonation is Deadly" Put this slogan on your dash. Read before spraying.

thanks for the tip, as for the motor everything is stock only mod so far is a budget y-pipe. will pull the plugs for some coppers, fuel pressure shut-off and maybe a window switch then 75 here I come. I read the recent post about what plugs should look like any other tips about plugs
I have more time to play with the kit b4 the track now since it rained last night and the track was closed and the next test and tune day will not be for about 1 to 1-1/2 weeks
