Nitrous Kits

I have a few q's about nitrous kits

1. The zex kit is the inexpensive way but is it as safe as the others

2.Does it throw it in there all at once or is it a progressive kit, and whats the pro's and cons of a progressive to all at once shot?

i have temps of 1600 and above in the 1/4 and alot of exess smoke, im hoping it will cool it off and boost me a few 10ths

I had the NxD Stacker Kit. Was good for a 100HP shot. It was an all at once when hit full throttle. If I had it to do over again (oh yeah, I do ROFL) I'd spend the extra for a progressive just so it wouldn't hit quite so hard. 1600* in a 1/4 mile ain't gonna hurt. I was pegging the 2K gauge within an 1/8 mile and never let off. Just let her cool a bit running afterwards.

I'm not totally sure, but I would guess it would be. Also, not NEAR as hard on the engine. Wanna know what happens when you throw ALOT of chemicals in to the engine real quick?

I forget where I was reading it the other day, but Ford said that they'd accept that as a legitimate 100% core as long as it was shipped dry and in their original dunnage....

It's gonna become a coffee table. It'll be my table of shame. It'll also have the LPOP gears hanging from it.
