Default Opinions on ZEX

Seems to me that ZEX is the simplest, most cost effective way to get more power (turbo and super chargers are just too expensive and haven't shown gains that I'm impressed with). I don't need it all the time......but every once in a while my box needs a kick in the pants and it just can't deliver. Anyone have experience with these kits? I like the simplicity of install. the reasonable price, and the fact that it monitors bottle pressure for spray control. One thing I was wondering......does the fact that our cars have a returnless fuel line negatively impact my ability to install a Zex kit and have it work properly? Thanks.

Not impressed with 50hp - 50lb-ft gain @ the wheels?

For over $3000...........no........no I'm not. While the "percentage" gains are fine.........it's not worth it to me because we don't enough horsepower to begin with. If I had a car with a bigger engine and more power.......paying that much for similar percentage gains might be worth it to me. So, I've pretty much decided that if I add any sort of significant HP.......I'll probably be doing it with nitrous.

Nah....haven't been posting much. I check in here and there.........but dental school keeps a man busy it would seem.

Jdaniels........I'd take that challenge........and if you've got a turbo kit that's set up well, I'd say you'd probably win. It would be fun anyway. My concern is that I just don't have the money to spend on a turbo kit.........and, if I did.......I'd probably have bought a faster car to begin with.

Question for those that know.........I've heard people say that with a returnless fuel line you need to use a wet kit. Is this true? I hope not.....as I prefer dry.
