If this explosion damaged your throttle body at all, I still have my stock one if you need a replacement.

Glad you're ok, that's sketchy for sure. I dunno about using the nitrous during the burnout - too many things to go wrong there. I follow the concept of purging that way, but I would want to mitigate risk and harshness on the driveline whenever possible.

Thanks Joe, I have my stock throttle body as well. The car is running and driving fine, I'll just be sure to be at a higher rpm before I let the Nitrous engage in the future and will not use it during a burnout. Hopefully the standard purge works good enough.

So, do you not use an rpm window switch?

No I do not use a window switch, I like the Nitrous to come on at the hit off the line. RPMs are rising at that point and starting at 1500 rpms rather than 500 rpms at idle. I made a couple runs after that without a problem but no more burnouts with Nitrous I have been using this ZEX systems for two years now at the track. I have slowly incremented up from a 100HP - 150HP shot. Hopefully I get to make a few more runs in before the weather gets cold and it goes under "The Knife" for a new cam. Then I will drop back to 100 HP shot before going back to a 150 shot.

You've obviously had good success with your setup, proof that you don't need those additional safety margins. In my mind, the potential to be bitten in the ass greatly outweighs the cost.

I'll have to think about, initially I though that a fuel pressure switch may be good but Nitrous without fuel isn't flammable. Have you seen an instance where someone lost all their fuel and they had a problem? Spraying during shifting has been pretty good really, it bangs gears pretty good. |

Spraying through the shifts is definitely faster - and with a good trans tune it'll probably take a good bit of that - totally a "your choice" kind of deal. But man, a window switch, to at the very least keep shut the spray off before the limiter in the event of a driveline failure, seems like a no brainer - especially for somebody that runs as much as you do. It would also save you in the event that you do get something wrong and somehow get the car WOT at too low of an rpm - you've seen how that can work out. You've said you know your drive-line may be on borrowed time - I wouldn't ask for any more trouble and keep it "safe". Just my two cents, something to think about.

I figured you were busy working, you had a lot of wood to cut up last time I stopped by. Next time I'm up that way I'll drop off the good one (driver's side), maybe hide it under the grill like I did last time? The second pass was a little slower ET @ 7.3, but the 60' was the same 1.48. DA was 1000 on 1st pass, and I suppose a little higher on 2nd pass. How do you get 1.5 tenths from axles? I don't have a clue. But I'll take it!!!! I did fall asleep at the light though. Worst reaction time I can recall having! The Zex kit we both use will not send nitrous through if the amount of fuel isn't adequate. It immediately shuts nitrous off. On my first pass with it I had less than a 1/4tank of gas, the same way I ran N/A to save weight, the car didn't get enough gas through the Schrader valve and the nitrous never came on, they designed it this way so you cant run lean. I made a pass a few months later after making several passes, and had a little over a 1/4 tank, just past the 330' mark the nitrous cut off. I make sure I have at least 1/2 tank in the car now to be sure it's getting enough fuel. This is a great feature of the Zex kit that prevents you from running lean.
