Dynotune and Nitrous Outlet are both very good alternatives to NX and TNT

Good luck with that.

I tried to build a cheap dry kit...but the parts kept adding up. To get all the safety and necessary accessories..it will add up quick! If you go with a wet kit it will be more expensive too..

You could build a cheap kit...just use a blow torch as a bottle warmer, don't even worry about a wideband setup or a window switch. That will save a little bit of money...but I don't recommend it

one thing i am wanting in my kit is for the solenoids to be bigger so i can grow into them later or use them for racing when going to a 200-250 shot or something.... cause alot of these cheaper kits have the tiny noids that look to be good for up to 125-150hp hit..... what do you guys think is the best of the 2, NX or NOS? they seem to be pretty close.....

I suggest looking at the Nitrous Outlet line for a dependable, high flowing, and high horse power making system!

thanks dave! i will look into this stuff..... i guess what i have always wondered is why nitrous systems cost so much.... i mean there aint much to them other than a few solenoids, a few switches, some steel braided lines and little nick nack stuff..... i mean dont get me wrong i know there is more but it just seems like some of these $800-$1,000 systems could be $400-$500.....

I agree some systems are over priced. And some are priced CHEAP because that is exactly what they are.

There are many factors that lead to the cost a manufacture has in offering a product and service. You will find our systems are not the cheapest nor the most expensive. However I could not be any happier with the end result in the quality of our products and our service.

This market is getting tougher and tougher every day. As raw materials continue to rise I assume so will the products offered in this industry.

Some people will allways use the Cheap product equals cheap parts argument but thats not allways the case. the quality and service we offer is outstanding and our reputation will speak for itself. goodluck with your install no matter which direction you decide to take.

uh oh we got a nitrous war here! hehe just kidding guys! yeah you get what you pay for sometimes..... and by the way on my 2002 LS1 what setup is gonna hit harder and just be plain out better? the shark style nozzle, the plate in front of the throttle body, or the MAF kit? it seems like the nozzle stick out there and shoots that stuff right in the intake and the plate just shoots sideways out and then has to go tward the intake when the air hits it......your thoughts?

I can tell you from my experience, I have used multiple HSW kits in multiple configurations, and IMHO they are the best for the money hand down. The kits have quality anodized fittings, and with the Brute Force upgrade it is customized to your needs for less than the competitors "off the shelf kits". Just my .02

what do you thin about the quality of the NX and NOS stuff as far as brackets and ect compaired to the harris and nitrous outlet stuff? im really big on the parts that come with kits having a CNCed look and things being strong and having a long lasting look to them.... that the main reason i bought TNT kit a while back.... but i am starting to lean tward these guys like nitrous outlet, and harris..... BTW what do yall think about dyno tune?

Most places anymore, use similar solenoids. NOS has different ones, and NX has some pretty trick Lightning noids, but other than that, they are similar (I don't want to say they are the exact same, but they all get them fom the same manufacturer).

The HSW brackets are nice, and bolt directly on. You get your choice of 2 mounting styles. The throttle body mount, and the split mount on opposing sides of the intake. Both are powdercoated black, and look great.

BTW im pretty sure in the next few weeks i will be making a purchase so all this talk wasnt for nothing for you companys trying to help me.... when i talk i buy! thanks, jake
