You better get exhuast from the cat back (go for 2.25 piping) becuase you will lose a lot of power when you put in NOS. The reason is that the exhaust will put a lot of back pressure on the engine choking the engine which will reduce your power.

Thats kinda a suprise. Is it the protege5? I was thinking the mazdaspeed (sedan).
I dunno what the times are on the v6 stang but you should be able to beat it I'd think. The way my car is it stays even with a GT stange from a roll.. but from a dead stop I'd lose since they're rwd
We did a 75 shot on a wet ZEX kit. Had no issues and blew through 10 lbs. of N2O in about a week. It was a nice little kick for the car, but actually didn't end up doing quite as much as we thought. I think we may have been running a little rich, so you might want to play with the jets a bit. Don't go too crazy though, lean A:F combine with nitrous is a bad combo. Hope you smoke that Protoge' man!
btw chip did you guys use stock spark plugs because i've been told by a few people that i might wanna put some new ones in such as the zex ones. or it will turn into a "glow plug".

From what I know our stock park plugs are basically high end ones made by Bosch, and from what people have said its not worth upgrading the plugs. But I don't know how well our stock plugs handle NOS tho.
Yeah, dude take them out... Yo, where are the pics? Zipper is right... Pics make it official...
