Well...it DOES NOT mix with gas...The Zex kit is a dry kit...I should know after installing two of them! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> The nitrous jets are inserted into your intake piping aimed towards the throttle body...No mixing of gas here.  If it was a wet kit, I probably wouldn't have done the installs.  From my knowledge, wet kits are more dangerous if not properly tuned/used.  Personally, I wouldn't use nitrous for anything but possibly a turbo spool up kit, like JWT has done in the past.  They program their ECU to utilize a separate nitrous system to be on as you get on the throttle, but as soon as the turbo spools up, the nitrous cuts out.  Thus bringing turbo lag to a minimum, by helping spool the turbine to operational RPMs.
