Im convinced that it really doesnt matter who you go with, they are all good products. a wet kit is a wet kit. you will be happy with what ever you decide. i can vouch for zex. i had fittings left over when i was done. they give you all the parts you need and more. there customer assistance is very good too. they are teamed up with /or owned by comp cams. so they have alot of tech assist.

Why only a 5lb bottle? I would go through that way too fast. Maybe thats why i don't have nitrous yet.

trust me get a 10lb bottle, it will help maintain bottle pressure. i would personaly go with either a NOS kit, nitrous express or ZEX, i personaly use NOS brand stuff in my cobalt and in both my camaros.

i use NX in my cavi. 10lbs bottle.... and even that doesn't last me long....


i will tell you this, and i am sure most people that use spray will agree with this.... once you start using the sauce, you will get hooked and start spraying more then you think you will.

If your heart is set on a 5lb bottle, buy the kit w/o a bottle for $289 and add the 5lb bottle they sell for $129. It'll cost you $29 more but you will have what you want.

Like everyone says, I'd stick with the 10lb unless you have plans on a stealth setup where only a 5lb can fit. I know someone that uses 2 - 2.5lb bottles that the motorcycle kits come with. They are completely hidden. Just buy a spare or two so you don't run out.

bottle presure in a 5lb bottle wont exceed 900psi which is under the 1100psi required for maximum power....I remeber reading that somewhere

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from the racers I've talked to, most people run 900-950psi in their n2o tank. What matters is that your pressure remains constant, so your a/f ratio doesn't change. As bottle pressure drops on a wet system, your mixture will richen, reducing performance. Running a high pressure of say 1100psi through the 1/4 is difficult to maintain, especially on a partially full bottle. This is why most racers opt for the lower pressure, so they can more easily maintain the correct a/f ratio.

Here's a link to calculate the proper (starting) jet sizes to adjust for bottle pressure.

This is why it is so important to have a pressure controlled bottle heater of sufficient wattage, rather than a temp controlled heater only.

I run 1100psi all day and it stays that way unless the bottle is running on fumes

900psi is whats normally recommended as a safe range by manufacturers but I've found from experience that we can get away with 1100psi safely. More power this way too!
