Remember the pump on the safe cell is not like taping into the fuel rail as far as psi. Basically NX came up with the recommended jets and they change depending on your solenoid as well. So keep in mind we may have different solenoid orifices depending on your model.
The only thing I can do is go up and down using custom combinations as long as the engine and a/f reflect the numbers your ok. I was super Rich today, low 10s ....

The car can run grear on a 200 shot. Just make sure that you have no cats and proper fuel. MS109 works great in our cars and is strong in the 4-5 gears where the car runs rich. C16/Q16 will also work but the tuning is a bit tricky.
Its because the boxes are low quality. Happens to just about all of them.

Let us know how everything works out with the Zex kit. Your initial setback has me concerned about the reliability of these kits and their safety. I was considering getting one, but I want to follow how yours works out first.

When the solenoids fail do they fail with the valves open or closed? Also, do these kits usually contain individual solenoids for the fuel and NOS. If so, and the fuel fails but the NOS is still jetting, wouldn't this be very dangerous? Do the NOS manufactures build some kind of protection mechanism into these kits to protect against this kind of kit failure?
The kit contained individual solenoids inside the box. The fuel solenoid worked great and never failed like its nitrous counterpart.

Sure thing! I'm having to upgrade the line from the nx solenoid to the shark nozzle from a -3 to -4 so i can run 175-200 shot. Everything is fine on the car now and runs great, but I truly believe it will take 175-200+ to hit a 10 sec pass.

The Nitrous solenoid failed OPEN for me, leaving me very pissed about what happened.Nitrous slowly leaked through the solenoid and into my intake manifold while the car was off. The next time i started the car, the motor instantly went to 5.5k RPM. From that day on ive switched to bigger NOS solenoids and haven't had a problem since.
