The chart tells the story. Note that our increase in performance

output—a huge improvement.

Diesel Nitrous System Jet Install
After reprogramming for additional fuel, ZEX Product Manager Matt Patrick installed the 55hp jet. The jet change takes about one minute to complete. The result of the 55hp jet change and programming: an additional 47 hp. Why the difference between the projected horsepower and the real horsepower achieved? Tuning time. If we continued adding fuel with the Fast-Flash Programmer, that nitrous jet would support up to its rated power.
