Trust me I would have already been to the track and on the dyno had I not replaced my clutch one day before I installed my NXL kit. I am still trying to get it fully broken in before it start pounding on it.

I have made a few test runs on the street with a 120 shot jets and the way this kit comes on is amazing The higher the rpms turned the more power come on, honestly I would almost compare it to the feel of a turbo car

My NXL kit was installed Wednesday. The kit only offers three horsepower levels, 80/120/180. Jetted at 180 hp the car only saw a gain of 134 hp. A/F was good. I LOST 10 hp compared with my MAF kit jetted at 150 hp. I think NX needs to do some more work on these kits. The kit looks great but looks don't win races.

Man, I really hope there is an issue with your setup somehow. What kind of bottle pressure did you have on your pull? What was your fuel pressure and how is your fuel system set up?

I'm running a Walbro intank pump. The bottle was completely full, pressure was about 1000 psi. The system was installed by Sean at MMT. Sean has more experience with custom NXL kits than anyone else in the country but this was his first production kit. There isn't much to mess up on this kit. It's a very simple kit to install. When I tried to get jets for a 250 hp shot NX told me they didn't have the jetting worked out for more than a 180 shot. But they said the kit would support up to a 300 hp shot. Big help that was. We'll get it to make the power I need but it will just take a little time. Also, changing jets on the kit once it's installed is a pain in the ***. You have 16 seperate jets and half of them are under the cowl.

That figures!!!!

Go with the NoSzel kit, I was running a 175 shot and it put 185 hp to the rear tires at 6.5 lbs of F/P and 950 bottle pressure AND my kit comes with the 300 hp pills also...It just goes to show when your as big as Holley, they have enough R/D time and money to get where they need to be (NITROUS INJECTOR DP SYSTEM'S) that is!!!!!!!

Sean is the man when it comes to Nitrous, espicailly NX since it is his preferred brand. After reading that I may just go with a custom kit and not the NXL. Thanks for the info.
