So I want to run nitrous and just wanted opinions of those who have it already.

Your going to have love it or hate it. Cause if they didn't love it they were only spraying a 50 shot or they didn't have a heater or nano so they were getting soft hits.
Ive had nitrous on two other cars and a supercharger on a 12 GT.
Im on the fence between nitrous and blower.

I'm currently looking at the zex blackout kit.
Nozzle style
Either 100 or 125hp shot
With a heater, and remote opener.
Priced it at 1100.00
Do you need to change plugs with just a 100hp shot?

Ive been very impressed with the coyote nitrous times out there. I would vote for putting nitrous on a car if you don't want a blower or turbo.

Love nitrous so far. Make sure you go with a wet kit and I recommend a good tune. Have fun spanking 95.87% of the cars on the road.

U can buy a NOS kit for half that price and use a momentary switch to activate it.
It's a lot safer and more controllable.

Mind's a stick so I cant drive, shift, and hit a switch at the same time.

I'm on a nozzle right now, if I keep the car I'm going to move to a plate+NANO setup. But overall, it's an easy install, it's cheap, makes really good power, and still safe with the right tune. I love it.

What's the difference between a dry kit and a wet kit?? What are pros and cons..

A dry kit just adds nitrous and the controller tricks the pcm to add more fuel. Wet kits mix fuel and nitrous together.

^ Yes but theirs more to it.

Both are safe to run.

With a dry kit (like the Reaper H/K), It's a push button spray system with a single nozzle only which works very well. Been testing for awhile and will be in a future MMFF article. You set the tune to command when its at WOT for the nitrous among other things that Chris will do to make it safe and fun.

With a wet kit, you still have to make the adjustments in the tune to run properly.

Theirs a lot more involved though. Shoot me a call, I can explain it all for you
