Default ordering a zex kit for the truck

hey guys.
i've finally decided that i'm just gonna order a zex nitrous kit for my truck.probably only gonna spray it with a 55shot for a while just to give me an edge over the other trucks.
i'll post results after i get the kit installed.

Sounds good, but I would try a 75shot for starters, then work way up from there.
What engine do you have?

I have a zex kit on my truck got it cheap ,but if I were buying one new I would definatle buy a wet system that would spray to 150 shot. I've yet to have any bad experiences with my with but dollar for dollar a true wet system would be the way to go.

I would stay away from Zex kits and Venom kits.

Do a 75shot atleast
