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

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.

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

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.

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.

I was looking to run a 150-200 shot to start.

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.

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:
