zex comes with 55, 65, 75 shot increments. they average to the wheels is 40, 50, 60. i've seen dyno's that put down better and worse #'s. temperature and bottle pressure play a huge part. you can safely run the 55 shot with no upgrades other than colder plugs (i use NGK BKR7E). i would venture to say that with the 55 shot you hould pull anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 of a second off of your time. the key is reading your plugs to make sure that the motor is not detonating. i've been spraying on my zex kit for almost 2 years without a problem.

i'm pretty sure there's a 35 shot too, should be okay with a 50 shot but if it were me on stock internals i'd just go with a 35...

zex only comes with jets for 55,65,75 shot increments. i've been running the 75 shot on my stock internals for almost 2 years. NX is the only company i know that the kit comes with a 35 shot.

40% of stock horsepower or 50hp shot, whichever is lower with 91 octane.

93 or higher octane, you can safely run up to a 75 shot or 50% of your stock power, whichcever is less.

i didn't see your mods in your profile. i'm running a 75 shot on my b16 without problems at all. there are a few things that you should get (safety reasons) if you plan on running any higher than a 55 shot. higher flowing fuel pump, colder spark plugs, adjust timing on motor. i ran my set up for almost 2 years with a 255lph walbro fuel pump, NGK BKR7E plugs, and 2 degree retard in ignition timing (zex calls for 4 with the 75 shot but after reading the plugs numerous times 2 degrees was plenty). i bought the msd digital 6+ ignition so that when i flipped the n2o switch it would automatically retard timing. that way i wouldn't have to run on the street with less power due to timing retard. the ignition is awesome but not a necessity.
