Few ?s on running lines

What is the longest and shortest distance before the throttle body I can place the nozzle for a wet kit? Also, what is the longest length that I can do from the solenoids to the nozzle? One final question, is it Ok to have the line from the schrader(sp?) valve to the soleniod about 40"?
What I would like to do is have the lines in the following lengths...if possible.
Shraeder valve TO fuel soleniod 40"
Fuel and N20 soleniods TO nozzle 38"
nozzle TO throttle body 22"
Thanks

you want the nozzle as close as to possible to the Tbody for good atomization and to keep the gas suspended. the other lengths dont matter,they will just make the hit softer.

if i remember right,the nozzle should be withing 6-8" of the tbody

My NX kit says 2"-4" in front of the T-Body. I remember this because I just put mine in Saturday...LOL. Now, I just need that Maximizer.

The Zex system is a dry type, right? I guess that would be the reason for the variation in length between the NX and Zex kits.

Oh, I didn't even know that Zex made a wet kit. Anybody have an idea why the Zex kit allows the nozzle to be placed further from the TB than the NX?

the maximizer is a full digital progressive nitrous controller. has many options for initial percent,time for the ramp to 100%,a reset percentage etcd etc etc. basically it's for the tractionally challenged and helps from shocking the rear/suspension too hard if you dont have the good stuff.

Keep in mind how these progressive controllers work...

They pulse the solenoid open/shut quickly. Personally, I don't like the way they work. I would opt for the 'good stuff' and then get some tire .
