I just dynoed 328rwhp/420tq and need some tuning. I'm hoping for low 12s. After I have it tuned I'm going to head to the track!

I'm running an Edelbrock dry with purge, heater, and a remote bottle opener. What I liked about this kit is it comes with a fuel boost a pump. While I was having it dynoed they asked if I wanted to convert it to a wet kit but I didn't see the point, but at least I know I can if I ever need to.

Im running the Zex kit (Wet) on my 99gt. So far the best times I have 13.4 with the 75 shot and 13.1 with the 100 shot at 108mph. The biggest problem so far is traction, my sixty foot time 2.2. Need to buy some Nitto. I have had no problems with the Zex kit and it was easy to install. I also installed a MSD window switch for a little more safety and a bottle warmer.

I have a 2000 saleen(no blower/251rwhp stock)Probably close to your numbers? Using NX wet kit, 150 shot. Just ran a 12.34 last night. This was on street tires and I'm pretty much a novice driver. Kinda hard to hook up, but once you do, its balls out. I HIGHLY reccommend this kit: easy install, safe, good tech support,minimal tuning required. Numbers are rated at the wheels,not the flywheel like everyone else. Whatever kit you use, your car is gonna fly! Have fun.

I was able to run 12's (12.0-12.1-12.2 @ 115-118) all day. I would actually slow down a little near the end so I didn't go too fast. I would just shut the switch off almost as I crossed. I was told if I went under that mark I would have to get so mods done before I could run again. Oh, and you'll never be able to hit the juice in 1st gear.

NOS "dry" kit.
Loved it.

Been spraying a 150 shot for several months on the stock plastic intake. Just don't hit the rev limiter and you'll be fine. I have an auto and my limiter is raised to 6500 to avoid this. I can't hit it unless I hold the gears in 1 or 2.

I ran a 12.37 @ 108.8 on the 150 shot. My bottle pressure dropped halfway through. I could have ran an 11 on that pass, but the bottle was almost empty and didn't want to stay above 900psi. Oh well...

Nice numbers! I'm using the stock, plastic manifold also. I've had no problems so far on a 150 shot. The key is not to detonate(of course), as long as the combustion process is moving THROUGH the manifold, you're ok. The plastic manifold is actually much lighter and it dissipates heat much better than aluminum and steel. Tune your ride properly and respect the juice, you'll be fine. The horror stories will be just that...stories. Get the NX bottle heater. I get 1000 psi with that bad boy if I have 10 lbs or 2 lbs in bottle. It's a few bucks more, but well worth it. I had a Zex heater and the two don't even compare...IMO.

I have a 01 GT and I am running a ZEX wet kit. I run a 13.7 N/A but I don't know what I am on the juice due to the weather(track being closed). Should be in the 12's now. I am running a 100shot and my car really rips now, n20 is a blast, Get it!
