Are you talking about the gas or the equipment used to spray it? If it is the gas then I have never heard of any differences.

Some companies offer bigger solenoids or higher flow bottle valves and other options...but I don't think that matters til you start doing the big shots.

The gas itself should stay the same. It just depends on how you want to use it

The difference between brands will be the solenoids (some will flow more than others, some will be more reliable, etc), the extra hardware they offer (DynoTune's unique gauges for example), the customer service, the way they inject (Zex for example has that box thingy they use), etc. And of course, price

The thing to watch out for is if the companies rate it as HP or RWHP.. Big difference there.. Other than that, what they said.. ^^^

I have found some of the cheaper kits on the market have lower quality material for fittings. also the solenoids seemed to have more trouble with the lower priced kits. I stand by nitrous express and nitrous outlet for everything

I am pretty sure that as long as you take care of the system you wont have to worry about things until you go with a big shot.

The brand does not affect performance. However, having a shitty setup will.
