Get a bottle heater to keep your bottle pressure constant so all of that tuning is actually worth something. If your bottle pressure changes your AF ratio changes; rich or lean, change isn't good. Also get a nitrous pressure gauge to keep an eye on your nitrous. If you are rocking 1200 psi due to a hot day you do not want to spray when you are only tuned for 950 psi.

Get an NX wet kit, the Genx2 upgrade kit, and some BFG drag radials. Get the thing tuned and go to the track as often as you can. Some of these NX boys should be breaking 13.5s on a 75 shot by now and I have no idea why they aren't.
Edit: I'm in fayetteville. I'll be awake until about 1 am monday(today) and tuesday. My cell # is 479 790 2818. If you have any questions give me a call. That goes for anyone else as well. I've got a bit of a drawl though, so fair warning to everyone.
Always suggesting the Drag Radials......If you're only going to use them at the track just buy some Mickeys.....
I run the Drag Radials on the street.....
I just can't see buying Drag Radials for Race only use......Why settle for 2.0's when you can clip 1.8's with Mickeys?!

Because it is a lot easier to get an off track race setup if you are running drag radials than if you are running slicks. Personally I'd just throw drag radials on in the summer and put on khumos for the rest of the time.

I can think of a reason to use drag radials instead of slicks, drive shafts. With slicks, you run the risk of breaking your stock drive shafts, but with drag radials, the tires will break loose before that happens. There is simply less risk.

More or less what I plan to do. With my built trans setup I have no fear. I see what you're saying now Kris.
So what if you can run 13's with slicks on the track, what can you do on the street?

Well, in my reading....Honda Axles are as predictable as a car wreck.
Some people break em' with stock power on street tires and others slam 250 through em' on slickies.....Axle hop is what kills axles not so much power when you're talking low-power setups.
Thats why I have these!!!

AND THIS!!!

To those with Zex kits: Have you ever opened the nmu just to look, or to repair a solenoid? Some people have said that if a component goes bad that you're screwed and would have to buy a new nmu. Zex said that the box could be opened if need be.
