Isn't NOS for like once in a while use, not for everyday or in your case 4 times in one day. We have it installed on my friends car for about a year now and he sued it about 10 times and no problems. I think that the ZEX it isn;t meant for everyday power only the occaional kill a person at the stop light.

If you pushed the engine really bad like that, could be the knock that I had, a spun rod bearing, witch will chew up the crank, rod, and beat the hell outa the cylinder wall... basicly cheaper for a engine swap at that point then just a re-build...

I got it from Ed Morad. Awsome to deal with, and highly recomended! Assuming you can do the swap yourself (with a few buddys of course) you should be able to do it for under a grand, mine after all was said and done, about $700 with shipping and everything.
