I've installed 2 of these kits. They work great, very simple install, easier than the 5177 kit. HP gains are right on par with the claims that you hear.

Ill try to find out where the links went to, Kit works great, we are fortuanate enough to have an in-house chassis dyno, so when tested we set a goal to achieve a safe and exact power rating. I dont think anyone will be dissapointed with this system.

It looks the best of all dry kits I have seen.

I really like the look of the halo system.. It's not too expensive and works great.

I bought one and love it. For dry I wouldn't have done it any other way. I only wish it came with more and bigger jets.

Honez, the jets are readily available, but you have to look into other things first, ie fuel pump and tossing the stock injectors. The possibilitys are endless but you have to do it right. There were extra jets in the kits, we just recommend the above mentioned mods first. Give us a ring when your ready.

Funny you should mention that, I'm installing 30# injectors this next Tuesday. You will get a call from me soon.

This is the first one we did. It was a 15# bottle, not a 10# so the fit is different and that's why the gauge is under the hood, couldn't fit it the way we had the bottle. It would have been better mounted on a piece of wood.

Basically what you see is what you get. It's got the NHRA safety kit wth blow down tube, the noid, gauge, relay, bottle and a switch that goes inside the car. It's a very simple setup, I cannot explain how simple it is. sorry I don't more pix than this, but that's all I got.

I'm actually thinking about using a HALO ring with my wet kit for my 2nd stage, it would be a smooth setup & all my stuff is very well hidden & I could hide that too. So one day Dave you gotta give me a price on a Halo ring, Line, noid & a -6 to -4 Y block & a shitload of -6 nitrous line. That's my plan.

And now for the pix.

Those pix are from right after we finished it, we ended up covering up all the wires & washing under the hood. No that's not my car, mine doesnt' get that bad under the hood. That was a 100k mile Z that picked up a full second in the quarter with marginal bottle pressure, if he would have had good pressure it would have been a little better. That 100k mile Tranny was slipping a little too, it was a pretty damn stock car.

Thanks for the pics.The one with the lid pretty much explains it all.

Here's my install, I did it myself and it took me about two days of tinkering because it was the first Nitrous install I had ever done and I had to learn as I went. Figuring out where I wanted to put everything was most of the challenge for me. The fuel safety switch is connected to the end of the fuel rail; you can't see it due to the cover being on. (What I wanted) I only have a couple of negative comments about the kit, 1. The switches that come with it are big and *** ugly, 2. The instructions were not specific to this kit and for a rookie like me I was a little confused. But I love the way it came out and I love the way it performs. I would like to see it come with 100, 125, and 150 jets but over all I'm very happy with the product and I'm very pleased with Nitro Daves' support. I doubt I will do business with anyone else when it comes to Nitrous. (So Dave can I get some free jets for the product plug?)

Just a few quick questions from another dry kit user here, but does this kit use vacuum to kick up the fuel pressure to accomidate for the extra fuel needed like other dry kits? And one more where is the jet located, is it in the entry way for the halo ring?

Jet would be where the feedline meets the halo.


The fuel is added because the MAF senses the added oxygen. It is not the "vacuum line to the FPR" type.

No,on a LS1 the maff tells the car to add fuel.Its not like the mustangs or LT1s. Yes the jet is in the intrance of the halo spray bar.

Nice pics. I would have one of these kits if I didn't get a TNT kit at such a great deal.

Looks easy to be hidden too.
