(collecting parts for b20 turbo for next summer) I know I can always search...but it is 6 am and I havent slept yet and I just want an answer when I wake up. ....so my question is two parts really....does anybody who has it like the kit? and what is the max shot I could prob run? I was thinkin of runnin a 55-65 dry shot...thoughts? thanks guys a bunch in advance

i have the kit,...you can run a 55 shot SAFELY ,..that means,..install the kit and go have fun,..it doesnt mean to abuse the kit as in spray just to beat a yellow light ,...i ran a 75 shot for a year with no problems though,..my motor was pretty new,..i put in colder plugs and messed with my timing,..but i have since down jetted to a 55shot

I run a 65 shot, no problems on a D motor. Install time is about an hour including running lines and installing mounting brackets. The wiring itself takes no time at all. Three wires to run, and you're ready to play.

I still think that nos is a way better/safer kit.

Zex is a good kit. I like mine, running a 55 shot on a D16 Automatic
