I wouldn't bother. I tried to order a bottle and some fittings from them recently and my order was cancelled with no explanation. I have had a solenoid of theirs fail after about 15 passes. They have no phone number to call for support. You will spend a bit more but go with nitrous outlet and you will be happy.

Can't see how you are saying they are growing since they dropped themselves from being a sponsor on here and are now harder than ever to contact.

And they are not cheap anymore by any means.. There was once a time when they sold wet plate kits for $400, now they are getting redic. on the prices! Dynotune makes good kits and very reasonable prices, check them out instead.

I have a HSW kit on my car. It came with it when i bought it. I have emailed NUMEROUS times and not once got an answer. I call up Dave and in one session on the phone I have everything I needed and got some info on top. Cant wait to have everything switched over to n20 outlet

Do not buy anything from Harris Speed Works. They are a ripoff and you will be very disappointed. Stick with Nitrous Outlet, DynoTune Nitrous, NX, or ZEX. I wouldn't waste my time with anything other than those for a basic kit.

I'd Advise to stay away from them too. You can only contact them through email. Now my personal experience has been they answer right away... I too had a solenoid fail on my right after getting it, but it may have been my fault for. Leaving the bottle on. I'd say give nitrous outlet a call... Customer service is #1

Damn, I really hate to see this. I'm one of the main members who helped them clear the air years ago on here when another nitrous sponsor thats not around anymore was tryin to steal business from them by lying to people about the quality of their products & what not. I dealt with Matt directly & had numerous conversations with him. I bought 2 full dry kits but never got to install them before hitting a ruff spot money wise & having to sell them.

At one time I would vouch for them on quality & price. They were right there with Dave & Dynotune at one point as far as thats concerned IMO anyway. And they had great support as well.

I heard the same thing also. Sad to see a company go down like this. In the performance world we need as much support in the aftermarket world as we can to keep our sport alive.

Although I have a Nitrous Outlet plate system Harris Speed has always been helpful in answering my tech Support tickets about the N2O Interface. Received an answer as lately as a few days ago setting up the Window switch

Honest they were big on tech but there is a reason why nobody runs them anymore,just do some research, honest imo you pay a lil more but tge extra cash is worth the customer service from n outlet, and there stuff is the best imo, so its a win win,

I still run their stuff and have had good luck with it. I have no issues with the quality, or the function.

I also never had any customer service issues with them other than that I will agree that a phone call is pretty much useless regarding getting a hold of them. However, they always replied to any emails or support tickets I sent.

I will say that Nitrous Outlet makes some nice kits and Dave is always around to help on here, so I would go that way if I had to do it over again.

I run an hsw kit but haven't been on here in years. I will say I have not had a problem with them in the past and they always took care of me but sounds like things have changed.
