Default Nos

I want to put the bottle on my car
With that being said I like the Zex system seems nice for a good price too I would run the 125 shot The only time I would use it is at the track to see what numbers I could do on maybe on the street in a close race to make sure I win!
Ive had NOS before so I know what its all about.
Im just not sure about the Zex system really cheap at maryland speed.
It sure beats the power and price of a head and cam package!!!
One more question Does it count as a Bolt on????

No.

Also, it's usually preferable to call it "nitrous", "the bottle" or "the juice", NOS sounds just a little too 'Fast and the Furious' for most.

Could be a good night to go, the barometer isn't too bad and I know Brandon (one of the black Trans Ams from the Sunday night meet) and Tom (yellow GSXR 1000 from the meets) might be going.

If you plan on going for the bolt on record for mn6, be sure you do it before you get the nitrous kit. Even if you instal it but don't use it during the run, it's probably not going to be accepted.

Good luck.

I'm not so sure he'd make that much horsepower, but it could be close.
Torque will easily be that high on a 125 shot though, probably well over 600rwtq.

Nitrous Oxide is correctly called N2O. NOS is a Company that sells N2O systems for vehicles.

True.

I'm just not sure when/where along the way that it changed from calling it N2O to NOS to NAWZ though.

He could, it is possible.
He has the FAST on there now along with headers and a Vararam which should put the car at roughly 410-420rwhp depending on what dyno is used (remember it is an LS2 with 3.90 gears) and I've seen 125 shots that added a little less (and some a little more) than the full 125 to the wheels as well.

Ignorant ricers that watched Fast & Furious?

Late 80's, early 90's Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) was the main if not the only player on the block. If you ran N2O you used an NOS kit.
