Although I'm sure that many people will be quick to help, if you searched a little there would be lots of information about this kit, the NOS kit, and people who have installed them on these forums. If I were more knowledgable about nitrous I'd be quick to help as well. If you read the stickies you'll probably get exactly what you want to know.

I'd recomment the NOS 5175 kit.
You can do the install yourself.
I don't know how long it would take, or a shop would charge, but I'm sure 1dv6 knows.
Gains depend on the shot size.
They aren't dangerous if you run them properly. You need to have enough fuel going in for your shot size. However, if you don't run it properly, be prepared to do some damage.

Thats about all I have to help with.

ok, im basically just looking for an easy install, money isnt an issue, and something i dont have to use a button to hit the nitrous with. i was thinking about a supercharger instead, but nitrous seems cheaper.

whats the difference between the NOS 5175 kit and this zex kit. whats the diff. between wet/dry? thanks.

yea do some searching on here for the basics of nitrous before you go out and buy a kit. Nitrous is great and a lot of fun as long as you take all the safety precautions using it.

As for gains, not much to say, you want a 75 hp increase, you put the 75 shot jets in and bam you have roughly 75 more ponies from that engine. lol

I personally installed my kit myself and it wasn't hard at all. The trickest thing is the electrical but I believe the ZEX kit comes with a box that has the solenoids in it so you only have a couple wires and then your switches. If you are alright with wiring and can follow diagrams you can easily install yourself.

Last, not to many people here run the ZEX kit for some reason. Most people have NX or NOS kits. I have a NX wet kit with it currently jetted with a 100 shot.

ok thanks. is their a difference between what i should get since i have an automatic and not a manual? or does this matter at all..

As far as pricing between superchargers and nitrous, the nitrous will add up with the cost of fills. So its really if you feel like spending your money now, or over a period of time. There's a lot more to read into as far as "not hitting a button". Window switches and what not. Just keep searching and reading.

i just want something that will give me constant power all the time.

[asdf1234]

Supercharger. Nitrous will only provide power when armed and engaged, and it won't be constant.

[dmw319]

looks like i need to start saving :(

You can find used kits in the for sale sections for a pretty good price.

Read the "!" threads.

I don't like ZEX a lot.

NOS, TNT or NX.

i got a used zex wet kit with a lot of accessories for only 300 bucks.. i'd go with a used kit if i were you

[12secondv6]

I'd avoid used..... you just don't know the reliability of electrical components etc
