I got the Hasport axles I can do for $479.00 plus shipping, normally $509.00 plus shipping. Price is for the pair.
These are the stage 2 good for 400+hp.
Zex and a lot of others I carry like Fidanza are only for 92-95.

oh that conversion's been done many times already.

hey cargodz, is that Zex brand the same company who makes nitrous kits?
If so I was just reading about a 300HP plate system they offer now (uses 12 jets around the plate instead of a spray bar across the center of the intake) that retails for about $550.
I wanted to get a price on that Zex kit, possibly with a smaller jetting, say 150-175HP. Cheers.

Yup...same company:)
Are you looking for vehicle specific or universal nitrous kit?

Zex=Competition Cams owned. Great quality stuff, great company in general.

Is it ZEX or TCI that make the axles? I thought TCI was the only one offering drivetrain components from their brand offerings, and ZEX was dedicated to NOS systems.

cargodz

Zex now has performance axles for 92-95 Honda Civics in 2 different stages, but I imagine Comp cams has them made through TCI for Zex the same way Comp cams makes the cams for Civics and puts them in the Zex name.

Good to know, thanks. Been a while since I checked into their offerings, been too long since I've built a performance car :(

Still weighing out options, thinking about getting an 03-04 Cobra to build up, maybe a twin turbo kit or a Kenne Bell supercharger. Motors are already built to take an assload of power. You get all the Comp offerings? Even custom grinds if need be?

I believe that Zex package is universal. It'd be bolted to a Victor single plane manifold and a holley/quick fuel type 4bbl 1050cfm carb.
It's a plate system so it'd just go where my spacer is now, between carb and intake, then run fuel and nitrous lines to it, with a small 120 octane fuel cell under the hood to feed it directly.
jetting nozzles are interchangeable. The one I saw went to 300HP through the plate.

Glass,
Actually for your application I might have a better solution.
Edelbrock Performer Adjustable plate system 50-75-100 for $460.00 plus shipping normally $499.00 plus shipping.

And for Jonathan,
I can get Comp, Holley, Edelbrock, the list goes on and on.
Best bet is to let me know exactly what your looking for and I can look it up:happy055:

100 shot just isn't big enough. this is going on a built 496 big block mopar, rated @<hidden> 654HP @<hidden> 5500RPM, and 653lb-ft torque @<hidden> 4400RPM on motor.
I was looking to run a 150-200 shot to start.

using Indy 440-1 ported heads.

Ok now I have a better idea of what fits your needs... and might I add "Nice!"
As far as the Zex kit goes I've never heard of anyone having the complete kit with tuning going for $550, if you can get it that cheap jump on it. Zex sells it for $623.00 (with a suggested retail of $729.00. I sell them at the same price as Zex basically $620.00 and at that still couldn't go any less than $599.00.

I also carry the NOS stuff, but it's a lot more expensive which I'm sure you already know.

They installed the ZEX package on HorsepowerTV last week on a prostreet camaro bracket car. Said it retailed for about $550 for the 300HP jet package, which I'm pretty sure was just the nitrous plate kit, and not the lines, fuel cell, etc to feed it. Just the plate, bottle, activation and lines for that. basic package.
I'd have to look at Zex and HPTV's sites to get specifics.
I just liked the perimeter nozzle design of the plate they used, instead of a single fuel shaft through the center of the plate.
This setup would be far more conducive to me running 10.5:1 range CR on pump gas daily in the car, and using race fuel in a 2 gallon cell under the hood to feed the plate.
The nitrous express two-stage plate setup I used before pretty much meant running lower compression pistons and having the engine rely on spray which I got tired of.

I figure I can run a 200 to 250 shot on that engine pretty easily, with a metered valve so the nitrous is introduced gradually, or ramped instead of hitting all at once, and it should reduce strain, and keep the car controlable with that much power on single shot.

For that best recommendations are either the NOS Mini Progressive Controller with hand held tuner or Edelbrock Progessive Controller.
Both offer 1-10 second delay, 10-100% duty cycle, on site dial in for variable track conditions.

what do those controllers run? (should be the same product since edelbrock owns NOS)

Actually Holley owns NOS not Edelbrock.
Nos: Retail $499, Our Regular $449.00 Can probably get it for ya at $399.00
Edelbrock: Retail $599.00 Our regular $549.00 can get for $499.00
Both plus shipping and are special order.

heh controller costs as much as the plate system.
yeah I noticed holly and NOS are also on edelbrock's website.
