^that's what i'm doing. i want around 600horse and dont want to spray a 300 shot lol, so i'll be doing a mild blower setup to get between 450-500whp then a 1-150 shot on top of that to get me to my goals. however on a stock block, with both blower and spray, something will blow apart, you're already in the area of ticking time bomb with 425hp.
that will be my excuse to have to pull it out and start all over lol ... but ya you gotta be detailed about this build im depending on you! im in the same boat and want a similar goal in hp which I think is way than plenty for a street car. I never built a motor nor am i very educated but its definitely on my bucket list of things to do and I dont think its impossible to achieve. Just need the bank roll and some help

I didn't use it on my mod motor only on my 418ci. But there is nothing like 2 stages 200 and a 400 to really get your adrenalin pumping. My cost was probably around $1700 plus refils. Boost is fun but a big shot is insane.

Nitrous sounds more fun every time I read something new about it. I just need to figure out everything I need to put together my kit and find the cheapest place to get it.

Bottle, lines, fuel solenoid, nitrous solenoid, nozzles, jets, WOT switch, fuel pressure safety switch, bottle bracket, bottle heater and wiring. It's cheapest to piece the system together instead of buying a kit.

Cheaper huh? I'll have to do research on what exactly to buy piece by piece since I'm not too electrically inclined.
I was looking at these:
NX Wet Kit
http://www.lethalperformance.com/03-...bottle-p-14899
NX GENX-2 kit (bottle heater, pressure gauge, fuel safety switch, blow-down tube, and purge kit)
http://www.lethalperformance.com/03-...pgrade-p-27855
NX WOT Switch
http://www.lethalperformance.com/03-...-relay-p-27857
MSD Window Switch
http://www.lethalperformance.com/03-...switch-p-29941
Have you ever used nitrousoutlet?

the cheapest way is to buy a used kit. you can find a usual kit on corral for 250-350 depending on if it's a plate kit or what. you're also gonna want some sort of a window switch. normally I would recommend the hsw microedge(what i have), however the prices on them have shot wayyyy up, it's now $400, double what it was when i bought it. I'd get a basic kit, auto bottle heater, and window switch/tps wot switch.
also ham, my buddy got a msd window switch he's selling for 100obo if you're interested. same one you linked to.

The microedge is nice for all it's other features. It's not just a window switch and wot switch. Mines hooked into my wideband and if it goes lean it cuts the spray. It can also be set to delay the nitrous solenoid and spray the fuel solenoid first so that it avoids lean spikes. Also has gear lock outs, and can be upgraded to a progressive controller.
