Unsafe? Depends on how you use it. Do the things I mentioned above, and don't skimp! Get on a dyno!!

not sure how this applies to duratecs but a few focal jet members believe that a nitrous dry kit on a zetec is a ticking time bomb.

Ha! Any zetec making more than 200 HP is a ticking time bomb!

While the topic was brought up...Would a Zex kit, with a mild 50 or 75 shot be ok on a stock engine ?? And what else do I need to replace if i install a kit ?

any use of nitrous can be a ticking time bomb. You need to know how much the motor can take before you introduce death to the poor motor and youself...

a properly tuned nitrous system is no more dangerous than any other form of FI!
nitrous is not the danger. peoples unrealistic expectations and ignorance to the facts are the danger!

Cheap power? Have you ever heard the saying: 'You can pay me now or pay me later'?
1 bottle= 6-7 runs,
Fill your bottle= $25
2 bottles per week (12runs)= $50 /week
52 weeks (1 yr)= 104 bottles /yr.
$2600 /yr
x 2 years= $5200
Turbo kit= $4995
You can pay now, or pay later
Also don't forget the initial cost of the nitrous kit

I dont think anybody would use the nitrous so often to spend close to $5,000 in two years. You can pay later and have Nitrous and Turbo. Try the nitrous, and be smart. If you kill the car get a 3L. If you are still not happy buy a turbo or another car.
