    I had a CRX with a B16 and got a Zex kit when they first came out. A 50 shot netted a whopping 23 more @ the wheels, 75 brought it up to 49 more... Plus I went through two of the "control" boxes because they wigged out and if I armed the master switch it was spraying. Ended up ditching it and going with a NOS system.

    Now to Zex's credit they sent me a new box each time, and I'm sure they fixed the problem (again, they were brand-brand new when this happened) or they wouldn't still be in business. Really "user" friendly system and easy to set-up, although the box takes up a bit more room than other systems. I did however LOVE their purge valve. Worked better than any other brand.

    But back on topic: 50 shot you could get away with running a colder plug and that's about it. For a 75 I would run 2 steps colder plugs and dial back your timing.
    No Echonova it's not that I don't want to hear what you have say, This is the info. that I'm looking for!! I'm trying make up my mind on if I should even put it on, It's just that it's been in a box for about 3 or 4 yrs and I was thinking that it would be a great time to use it!!
    I'm guessing that you did dyno your REX to come up with those numbers??
    Did you ever run that setup at the track??

    Yeah, my friend owned a shop with a dyno when I lived in AZ. Installed it 50 shot -dyno, Installed 75 shot - dyno'd again. Never took it off the rollers. Just changed the plugs and going to 75 and dialed back the timing a smidge. When I switched to the NOS system a 75 shot gave me 75 at the wheels after some fiddling. Switched to a 2 stage wet setup after that.

    Ran the Zex kit at the track once... That was the first time the box stuck "on" (found that out at the end) Ran a 14.8 @ 98 with a 2.5 60'. The launch could have been better (obviously) but after it stuck open I didn't run again that night.
