Can someone Please Chime in and Settle this Debate!!
BTW, Like was Said before, if you plan on going with a SC install, NOS would be a waste of Money
Hey y'all. The car that Dennis put the kit in was mine FYI. I will try to answer your concern as best I can but I am no expert by any means.
A Wet Kit is relatively safer that a Dry kit in so far as detonation, because both fuel and N2O are mixed in the intake tube, but as with all N2O timing is crucial. The ZEX wet kit 82023# is a really smart set up, I mean the N2O box is smart itself. Zex designed it so that it will add or decrease the fuel spray based on bottle pressure. (see below). Detonation is always a concern but if you pull some timing globally you should not have a problem at all. In fact my A/F is perfect on the spray as you can see from the dyno sheets. 11.7 is perfect. To be safe we pulled 4 on the timing for the 100 shot, but we probably could have gotten away with 2, but I like to play it safe and Steve and Dennis agreed that 4 is a good place for it for now. I will post up some time slips for everyone ASAP, if I can get to Commerce this Friday night. My only problem is that I only have stock tires at this point so I will have to either ease into it or keep the system off untill 2nd gear, then activate it. Hope this helped. Oh and BTW Dennis, Steve, Arthur & Terry kicked ass and took names as usual. No one has ever or will ever work on my car but them and my humble self. EXCELLENT WORK AND EXCELLENT TIMES WITH DR AS ALWAYS!!!!!
P.S. Debbie - Chevy will be rained out, ha ha ha, just kidding and watchout for those deer, they love Monte Carlo's from what I heard.
From ZEX.COM
• Designed to work safely on stock type engines, but is also engineered to perform flawlessly on highly modified turbocharged and supercharged combinations. The ideal nitrous system for any fuel injected vehicle.
• All major components are factory pre-assembled inside the "Nitrous Management Unit". Easy, plug and play, two-hour installation.
• ZEX Nitrous Systems have an advanced, patented feature called "Active Fuel Control". This feature monitors nitrous bottle pressure and adds or subtracts enrichment fuel so the engine never runs too rich, or too lean, when you engage the nitrous system.
• ZEX "Wet" nitrous systems activate at wide-open throttle using advanced electronics that monitor your engine's throttle position sensor. This makes using your nitrous system very easy and reliable.
