ok obviously the best bang for the buck on hp would be N2O. Zex has a kit that is supposed protect you from all of the dangers of N2O. Is there still a lot of buildup that is required before using this?
 
LOL no need for sarcasm, his reply wasnt rude and just nicely told you where to go, atleast hes trying to help you out.......
 
I don't know if I want to feed my eclipse the bottle after reading this:

2.9.20 Q: What about nitrous oxide?

A: Nitrous oxide is like steroids for your engine: it'll make you strong, but ultimately it's unhealthy and leads to premature death. Nitrous oxide does not actually burn in the engine. Rather, rapid cooling caused by the expanding gas drastically increases the density of the air/fuel mixture, allowing more into the engine. This leads to large (50 to 150hp) but short-lived (measured in seconds) boosts in horsepower.

Nitrous systems can cause many problems. The engine will run lean, causing melted pistons, unless a carefully managed program is followed to deliver additional fuel. The increased internal stresses often result in crank, rod, or piston failure. Also, nitrous systems by design operate under very high pressure (thousands of pounds per square inch) and improper installation is a serious safety hazard. It must be a professionally designed and installed system.

This is not to say that the 'throttle in a bottle' is not a highly effective method of improving short-term performance. However, it should only be considered for racing applications, or by those who (like most racers) consider engine replacement a 'routine maintenance item'.
 
I have a ZEX "dry kit" that I had used a 75 shot with no other mods to my engine and have not yet had any problems. However to a stock engine the power gains were not at all satisfying and would suggest spending your cash in other engine related items and if that dosen't cure your cravings for power then try the bottle and you will see more impressive gains(just what I have found).
