I have been using a nitrous works wet kit since 04 jetted at 100hp. your zex kit should work great.

how long do you spray for or do you just tighten your seatbelt and go all out?

I run it from 1880-2500, depending on how hard I launch, clear to 120+mph. I spray right off the line. And if its a big race, Ill stall 2500, spray on the drop, and hold the spray through to 5250.

only have had one backfire, and it happened when I was running to rich, luckily I have a VERY nonrestrictive intake, so it just shot flames back out the TB. It happened by being at high speed, high rpm, and let off the throttle before the I let off the spray.

other than that one time, no other issues, and I have over 1,500lbs of N20 through this motor already.

I just either run the OEM coppers, or I normally run the NGK. Ive always had the best luck with the ngks, and while I should step mine back, I havent even went to a colder plug yet
