Then again, I ran 80 shots for the first time with my Edelbrock kit. Im currently running 80 with no problems. Im still going to get the AEM UEGO to make sure everything is running good.

I spray on any gear as long is it is in wide open throttle.

Having sold the UEGO may I reccomend that you DO NOT go with their product? The UEGO takes slower sampling rates than many of the other companies and he connectors break during install . Happened to me twice on customers' cars.

If you look at sampling rates and accurate range, the best currently on the market are the PLX Devices units. the read fully and accurately 10.0:1 -20.0:1.

Just food for thought... not to mention the PLX depending on options can be cheaper than the UEGO.

hondata says if you are gonna spray anything over a 40 shot on a k you have to upgrade injectors and fuel pump.

mines is the single channel wideband. not just the uego. must be wideband if you want accuracy.

b18c1boy i have seen people shot over 40 on a k without any fuel system, but they would benefit especially with a 75 if they had a fuel return setup with injectors, fpr, fuel pump instead of the returnless setup stock

^^with a safc, version 2 or not, you can tune on the dyno with it and yes it will run better. The only real purposeful way to add in a larger fuel pump is to make it a return system, but you dont need to do that because the NX kits are designed to work on stock fuel systems. Good start on the kill list.

its UE GO not vego. you dont really need a fuel pump. the UEGO will help monitor your air/fuel ratio. so you will know if ur about to detonate.its basically an accurate air/fuel ratio gauge that tells u the exact ratio unlike cheapos where they tell you o nly if you run lean or rich. you can check ur plugs too but id rather have a nice gauge.it means universal gas oxygen sensor. i doubt h22s and type-s will lose.

ok....Man...realize how much hp and Torque RSX-S and H22s have at the wheels.....a 50 shot with a warm bottle makes about 100 torque and at least 60 hp!!! I tell man....I got both of them...same night!!!!infront of everybody!

a 50shot should give you about 160 to the wheels without i/h/e
trust me man, unless you got alot of bolt-ons because they help alot, especially when you spray.

I believe that he's gotten over on type-S's and h22s .... I personally have smoked 2 type s's in the same day and that was running a Zex 75 shot with no warmer or pressure guage .... And as for the "hope you dont misshift" crap, I was spraying on a run and hit a patch of wet asphalt and bounced of the rev limiter and absolutely nothing happened ( other than scaring the crap outta me ) .... I mean, I wouldn't do it just for fun but sometimes mistakes happen ... doesn't mean your car is gonna blow up ... I've been spraying for almost 2 years now and other than oil changes and a new battery, my Civic has never even seen the shop for any repair ....

^^people always pay so much attention to the hp numbers....what they dont think about is, when it comes to nitrous, its not all about the hp. Its about the torque. Nitrous gives you A LOT of torque, and its the torque that moves you down the track for the most part, not the hp.

like I said.....I don't know about others systems but NX on a dyno show that with a 50 shot doubles the torque in our cars! on the wheels! cuz I have a friend he dyno tested with and with out and he made like 105 wtq and then with 950 psi he made 203 wtq or something like that! with a 50shot!

That's exactly why I've decided to go NX instead of ZEX.

I think I blew my head gasket which is probably my own fault, but I still say NX is the best.

Civic redline said it not me. I believe you, because there's a type-S here that runs the same times as me and I'm NA.If you can drive they shouldn't be a problem with a 50 shot.
