i have nitrous, i love it, no problems yet, but i had gone through a tranny previously but not due to the n20. The motor is holding up great, and i have a blast beating type S's

Yea, my car is manual, but i don't have any mods really yet, i have an intake, and thats it, would i need to get new headers, or anything so that maybe my car could handle it without any problems? could i just buy the nitrous kit and throw it in without having to modify anything? and how much is the venom kit compared to the zex???, and what do you think is better? thanx
