it only shoots at wide open throttle and the switch that triggers it is on the throttle in the engine bay..i have a switch to turn on when i decide that i want to have it armed and ready to use.. Ok, So now i have a question for you now... This is the same question i had about the zex system.. Now say you were at the track and you were gonna race...when do you arm it...Cause im thinking this (and excuse me if im dumb) if you open to WOT won't the car just spin out..Or do you arm it while your racing?

i know you are getting a lot of questions, but if you dont hit WOT then it wont give you any nitrous correct? With my experience with my Tour's Zetec the best performance isn't at WOT it's like 3/4 throttle. So my main question is will you still get nitrous at 3/4 throttle or no?

you can hear the system injecting the nitrous when it shoots...the sound is nice....and you can make it shoot at 3/4 throttle if you would like...it is your choice when it goes off...you juss position the switch on the thottle body area nad put the lever in there to the pt where it will go off at 3/4 rather than full...you can also position it under your gas pedal so it goes off b4 u press all the way down from what the installation guy was telling me...i am takin piks tomorrow and will have them up in a few days prolly

I would really like to see picture of the instalation when you have them. You Private mail them if it's easier.
I'm not sure what the 35, 50, and 75 shot means. Is it percentage of maximum flow rate?
What is the difference between wet and dry nitro?
They say that everything comes at a cost - apart from the kit which was 500, are there any negative sides to running with nitro?

A wet system mixes the N2O with the fuel right before it enters the cylinder head, a dry system mists the N20 into the air intake track. Wet system jets are usualy located on the intake manifold as close to the Injectors as possible, while a dry system jet is located just before the TB.

the whole holdin it on for 13 second stuff doesn't really have much to do w/this system...it injects at wot so i know it shuts off in a few seconds so there will be no harm caused...you can buy a few add on's for the kit to make it run better such as a purge kit remote bottle opener and the bottle heater to go w/gauges and so on...the 35 50 and 75 is the size of the fuel jet i put on the car...the bigger the hole in the jet the more nitrous and fuel it will get which determines the amount of boost i will recieve
