Default Nitrous?

Has anyone used it on the R/T yet? How well did it work? Who's kit did you use? I'm kicking around the idea. I have enough parts to do 2 systems just sitting around, and I'm just kinda scratching my chin. I'm not looking for comments like "you'll blow your motor" If I decide to do this and blow my motor I'll just have to put a new motor in it. Just looking for people who have done this and their results.
Thanks.

my pal has 50Lbs direct port nitrous on his R/T Magnum. He put her on the dyno and had around 600hp. Thats just a close number, cant remember the exact specs, but he has yet to blow the motor. Id say go for it! P.s,. He has a NX setup.

Did he retard his timing? If so how?
Thanks.

first of all, what is a 50lbs direct port setup? nitrous isnt measured in lbs...also, the magnum is what, 340hp stock? assuming a drivetrain loss of only 15% (which is very low) that is 289 rwhp. that means that he somehow got 311 rwhp out of a nitrous setup? i would venture to say that without significant engine mods, or forced induction, there is NO way that his car had 600 at the crank, let alone the wheels.

i have dealt with a Zex setup, and it works very nicely.

I've got a Zex wet set up just sitting here. I'm just wondering how to handle the timing.

is it a huge shot? i thought that with the zex controller box, it had some sort of built in timing controller, or moreso a built in knock sensor...
