a bottle warmer is always good to have to get your pressure up

way i look at it....... if your gonna run it on the street get a 15lbs. bottle

so:

-nx 15lbs kit = ~650
-nx genx-2 kit = ~400
-msd digital window switch = ~115
- YOU DEFF. want to have atleast a psi gauge = ~80-200
- maby a a/f ratio gauge = ~80-350
- tune = ~600
- misc. shiat (plug's etc..) = ~50-100

way i see it when i do mine nitrous next winter it's gonna take me around 2g's

LOL@ some of the posts in this thread.


the only drawback to nitrous is the refills,and even then it doesnt bother me,ive found these motors will take ALOT more nitrous,then they will boost.

i pay 32 bucks to get my bottle filled,i usually have one in the mount hooked up and bottle open at all times in the summer,and usually another one strapped down in the floorboard incase i empty a bottle.

Nitrous is expensive as hell where I live. Cost me $50 to fill a 10lb bottle. Sad thing is, one bottle will only last 12-15 quarter mile passes. If you do the math, $50/12=$4.17 $50/15=$3.33. Each time you make that lovely pass down the 1/4th mile you just spent another 3 to 4 bucks. Much better off getting a permanent power adder.

I was paying $4/lb. That is about avg.

If you do the juice, I would DEF. do a better clutch than stock at the same time or before. Believe me(from my experience).

so then quit bitching,sell me your nitrous kit{as long as it aint a junk zex kit} and go buy a blower

then what is going to be your excuse when you get it handed to you by a nitrous car?
