Too much power?
I was wondering how bad would the wheel spin be with a 150 shot from say a 40 roll? I intend on using it at the track where ill have slicks but in case anything arises on the street where i might need to put something in its place, do you think from 40 mph with Pirelli P Neros 275 width, the wheelspin would be unbearable?

Should be no wheel spin @ all.
Years ago I was running 200hp+ direct port shot and would not get wheel slip. Although it does depend quite a bit on road surface. It sounds like your wanting to run on the interstate so you should be alright.

Gearing
It depends on which gear U're in as well. If I'm in second ( A/T ) & hit my ZEX 100 hp shot, the 275/35/18 Nittos don't have a chance! That's why the NX Maximizer is such a great tuning tool!! I can proram it to gradually ramp the power in as the rpms increase & a different ramp map in each gear. Obviously I can dump all the 100 hp in at once in third gear ( usually around 70-75 mph ) because traction's not an issue at that speed or rpm. Thinking about moving up to 125 jetting until I have Rabbid install my Vortech. Than I'll have to jet down & configure things for a seamless power curve utilizing the nitrous to get me into boost & then ramping it down as boost increases.

yea thats one thing with nittos though, if there not heated up they spin like any cheap tire, i had them on my car before and when they were heated up they worked beautifully but when cold they just spun. My pirellie P Neros now are good no matter what though. I should have this kit installed after i get the parts in which will be about 7-10 days from now.

I have juiced the 100 shot like 6 times. HUGE difference!!! Havent spun on a roll yet. (dont remember the speed, I just get to happy someone wants to race me and let them have the jump and watch there surprised face when i drive on by). Did it once out of the hole against a GTO, spun all through third and stayed with him once my tires caught it was the end of the story.
I have a maxizimer, but im shooting pure 100% to enjoy the JOLT. Will tweak it soon to improve my launch.

With a 150 shot, I myself would not spray at 100% for anything under 60 to 70 mph.

yea once i wear down my pirellis i should get a set of nittos when its warm out but nittos in the winter would be a horrible idea so ill stick with my neros for the rest of this season. Also i think if i hit the 150 shot in 1st gear i will def spin but if i flip the switch once i hit second im sure i have enough speed at 4000 rpms to prevent me from spinning.

Absolutely!
Show - That's the beauty of the Maximizer!! Yes, U CAN set up a different shot in every gear & also adjust the rpm at which it comes in as well as its' ramp-up speed. It does it ( via percentage ) by pulsating the solenoids so the only downside I can see is wearing those out sooner than ones on a standard nitrous kit ( especially when ya spray @ almost every opportunity!! ).

well im sure it can be done with a maximizer but im not sure because i dont own one. Right now with the zex setup, i cant adjust the shot size because its controlled by the jet sizes that go into my sprayer nozzle. My plan is to have have the bottles open and when i get through 1st gear ill flip the switch for the 150 shot so i get it around 40-45mph in 2nd gear. I think this will work best at the track and hopefully on the street.

yea i just realized i have 245's my bad. I was thinking of my drag radials(which are long gone) . Anyone know if you can use a maximizer with a zex kit? or can you not control the shot size no matter what with a zex kit?
