Nitrous Experts

[Anthony - 98 GTS]

This new nitrous product won the Best New Performance-Street Product at this years SEMA Show.

The No. 1 spot this year went to Competition Cams for its ZEX Nitrous Air Amplifier, which is the first race-quality air induction system to harness the kinetic energy of nitrous oxide. Tests show an air flow increase of 50 cfm with just a 75-horsepower nitrous shot. The runners up were Hawk Performance/Quarter Master and Evolution Motorsports.

Do you think this new product would work?? Seems you would net the same effect from mounting the N2O nozzels in the front of a K&N cone filter.

good question,maybe tom, albert, doug or other n2o specialists will chime in on this. i'm going to sema today so i'll ask the company a few questions.

Is there some kind of backflow valve that keeps the pressure from blowing back out the filter? Otherwise its just like having a regular Nitrous spray isn't?

Maybe that filter has some stuff inside it. It said "kinetic energy" so maybe they found a way to force more air into the intake by using nitrous, kind of like a ram jet effect

Tony,

I kinda thought the same thing - but with all the new products on display at the SEMA show you wouldn't think they would pick a winning product that did not work as advertised.

I would also consider Competition Cams a reputable aftermarket company - except I don't know if they have done much in the world of nitrous.
