Yes, exactly. It is a ZEX kit. My tuner had a T/A that he had this kit on and he sprayed it into the filter as it is stated above and he said it worked really well for him...i was just questioning ab it..kinda stumped on it

I think I read someone or had some friend's here locally that ran ZEX and said it wasn't very good and changed the nitrous to a Nitro Dave's kit and picked up a good bit. I think the problem was the soleniods or the MSD looking box that it flows through to "verify enough vacuum to activate n2o)

I have never had anything with nitrous on it..i have seen it used of course but dnt know much ab it as you guys can tell...i do know the diff in dry and wet..and that dry is nitrous only and wet is nitrous+fuel...But i have done some reasearch on it ab how it is suppose to drop the intake charge temp....? Is this a no or yes? Or maybe on a N/A engine vs a charged engine?

The cooling effect comes from the extra injected fuel, not the nitrous. The nitrous adds more oxygen = more power. If you inject nitrous without extra fuel you will run very lean and burn stuff up. The reason you never see big dry shots is the stock injectors cannot put in enough fuel to be safe.

If you are just looking for cooler temps methanol is a better alternative. Both can be used in conjuction as well, as I think trever is doing. Heck with a diesel you can inject nitrous, meth, fuel, and propane at once!

I have run 35/50/and 75 shots thru my Radix with no noticible drop in IAT's. I have not heard of any of the other users on these boards ever report any IAT differences but you will make gobs more power without increasing IAT's if that counts. Spraying methanol didn't really drop IAT's all that much eaither
