75hp shot of nitrous

i only want to run a 75 shot. if i am only planning on running this low of a hp system can i use a dry system safely on a 05 gt, or am i better off with a zex system. i have never run a nitrous kit and am looking for something simple that does not require a bunch of checks before i use it. i would like to be able to use this kit on the street as well as the track. do you have to purge all systems and does pressure have to be at 900 psi to use all these systems? thanks

Just buy the Zex Kit.Also get the Tunner kit with it.The tuner kit comes with Purge,Bottle Heater and pressure gauge.
You will like the 75 but I am sure you will get greedy and want more wich it can deliver when that happens.75 is totaly safe(No Worries) over a hundred and you have to tune for and get the HTO plugs.

Is it safe to run your regular 93 octane canned or mail order tune with a 75 shot?

take atleast 3 degrees out and check the AF on the dyno before using it at the track/street

Street=bad btw.

using nitrous on the street is considered street racing IMO and you dont want me to start up on that one again.

i considered nitrous on the street.... i dont care about the street racing part, but its really a bad idea.... it just doesnt work well for that application. its much better for running the 1/4. i mean, you could use it light to light, but I was looking something for more constant boost..... I guess I gotta just keep saving for a shortblock and turbo/sc.....

you dont need a shortblock. run the stock tune and the stock psi for the supercharger and you will be fine. dont remove the rev limiter either. quite a few people have had it running this way for a long time. jsut depends on who you talk to. you hear more about the negative and less about the positive experiences

yeah, but if I am going to shell it out for the blower..... then shortly thereafter, I am going to want MORE power. so I figure, might as well do it right... but that was my plan... get the blower (looking at the vortech or saleen....) run it at their "safe" psi, then slowly get the parts together for a build up.
