Sell the ZEX and buy exhaust?
 
Well I had a ZEX wet kit installed on my old 03 GT, but I just bought an 03 Cobra. I still have the kit sitting in my bedroom floor, so should I use it on the cobra? I dont wanna void the warranty, so I would have to take the whole kit off my car everytime it went to the shop. Plus, If my engine blew because of it, I would be screwed with having to buy a brand new 03 Cobra engine with money that I dont have. I heard they are expensive as hell.

Its kind of off topic, but will injecting the nitrous into the intake tubing before it enters the blower hurt the blower? I dont know how that works.

Anyways, should I sell the whole kit and buy a bassani cat back for the snake? The cobra smokes the tires out of first gear as it is bone stock. I think that adding nitrous would only increase my traction problem and slow me down at low speeds.

Yea Id have to agree that had to be one of the most ignorant remarks ever. The numbers dont lie, nitrous is hands down the best bang for the buck power adder out there. Course, you know what they say about opinions...if it were me, Id sell it to a friend or someone you know, and buy the exhaust for the Cobra. With those cobras, you can add about 60 hp with a new intake and exhaust setup, thats what Id do, then switch the pulley on the blower to take the hp right up to about 500.

I ran a 150shot wet in my 99 4.6 f150 for a little over 3 years and its still running around with nitrous in SC or NC. by the way if you see a reg cab silver stepside f150 a hood like the 99-00 mustang and its loud with side pipes say hi to my truck i miss her. :(

That was meant to be funny right?

I will forgive you because you must be young. For some dam reason, some people think nitrous is only for imports. I guess in their defense, it is because of the Fast and Furious crowds and juice is the best way for a 4 banger to cheaply keep up with a V-8.

The fact is, street rodders have been dumping nitrous into cars since there were muscle cars. My neighbor up the street was looking over my shoulder while I was installing nitrous on my mustang. He raced heavily back in the day. The last muscle car he sold was a 1968 Mustang Shelby in 1988 and guess what? It had nitrous just like most every other car he had well into the 80's.

Nitrous has been around a long time. I remember being a kid some 30 years ago and being in an old street racer that had a bottle stored in the arm rest. Nitrous is nothing new, nothing reserved for the imports, or the domestics no more than a tire or a windshield.

Ive had it in my Stang for about 4yrs now :cool: and you cant beat it! and BTW Iam an Old school kind of guy and Ive had all kind of Muscle Cars and back in the 70s even early 80s you never saw an import with NOS :rolleyes: Fast and Furious just showed them a cool way of making power?

i've heard of people running nitrous /w the 03-04 cobras... i didn't really pay attention to the details since i have a gt. i don't think there are any issues with the blower in combination with the nitrous. you still have the same concerns as you do with any car running nitrous (air/fuel). if you're worried about your warranty you probably shouldn't modify your car at all. if i was you i'd do a higher psi sc pulley and full exhaust... thats big gains on the 03-04 cobras... and safe!

oh yeah, and how much do you want for the nitrous kit? :)

oohsoobad2 12-17-2004 07:30 PM

is it a wet or dry kit??? either kit will be ok to spray before the blower, but the drawback to the wet kit is that it takes fuel from the fuel line, which you dont want in a boosted application. If its a dry kit, i say get a tune and use it!!
