Yes, complicated not really but it’s time consuming. The hardest part is mounting the bottle brackets in the trunk.

The Zex kit is great, if you want a boost this is the quickest and cheapest way to get there.  I haven't tried anything above 100 shot but at that it's still plants you back in the seat.

I wish it was dry around here I need another fix!

How many shots do you get out of a bottle and how much does it cost to refill.  Also, what does it do to your warranty?

Hey Mango, where is a good place to get the kit at a good price? Also, is this the same kit that is specifically made for the charger? Thought I read something about a specific kit for the car. is this the kit that is like automatic at WOT? Totally dumb when it comes to this stuff but looking into it... Thanks in advance..

You'll get the best price via e-bay or group buy.

The Charger specific kit is Part #82177 - LX Nitrous Kit
Other things I picked up are:
Part #82001 Racers Tuning Kit (purge valve, heater, blowdown valve, gauge)
PART# 82009 Remote Nitrous Bottle Valve Opener
Part# 82085 Traction Control Window Switch

All the things above give you several layers of protection.
The arming switch has to be on.
The NMU (Nitrous Management Unit) taps the TPS wire and only activates when it senses WOT.
The Traction Control Window Switch sends the signal through to the NMU only between the configured RMP range.

I also picked up an extra 10lb bottle off eBay so I have an extra full and ready.

No problem, glad to share.

When you get into the install let me know and I'll give you some pointers on the wiring and other things.

Ok I sure will.... Mango, have a question for you? Just got my SC and I'm in the process of feeling this thing out. I was wondering what would be a good setting for my car being stock. The only upgrade is the CAI, the hood in my pics and a heavy foot. Oh also, I don't think my speedometer is correct according to it, I am passing cars at 60 and I know better than that. Have 22" Kmc wheels on it... grrrrrrrrr can you help?

I would say run 91/reduced torque mgmt/raise shift points/paddle auto kick.

Get out the measuring stick to measure the tire height and then use SC to set the tire size accordingly.

Will do. I totally appreciate your patience with a new guy. Let you know how it works out..Was just adjusting the tire diameter going off just the rim size didn't think about adding the over all size tire included...

Hey, we all started somewhere and the more of us sharing ideas and experiences is what makes this forum thing work.
