"My nitrous jets in my direct port are a 50 shot. Wow, it makes 700 RWHP !!! (I forgot to tell you they're .090 jets)" 
I want to see a few systems compare the actual jet sizes, ignoring the manuf. ratings, and seeing how they stack up. Even two jets drilled the same size won't flow the same amount of nitrous/fuel, so it's not a DIRECT comparison, but closer than boasting about HP rating vs. RWHP gain.

Nxl Hell, I wanted a NXL kit but when I heard straight from an internal resource at NX I changed my mind as they were having difficulties with this system (flow patterns, distribution issues etc.) Then they put them on hold for several more months to try and R/D more...I changed my mine all together as I wanted a system I would not have to work the bugs out myself and just plug and play...I got it. TNT does not have the capabilities yet so there was only one left that was tested and running in the 8's. That was in the Eastside Performance shop car so I looked them up...That car was flying!!!! So I got hooked up...

What is this internal information?
And if the jettings are off it doesn't mean the kit is crap. It just means that NX better get on the ball and get the jettings correct and send the appropriate jets with it. I don't want to go have to buy a bunch of new jets to get a 180 shot when it should come with the appropriate jets in the first place.

Nos Well I went NOS so that tells you something. There still doing alot of testing on the jets but that does not make since, why release something that still haves problems? Here is my kit and its super clean as unlike alot of others say its a hard system to install clean..

Your install does look cleaner than the other rats nest NOSzle installs I've seen, but it looks like you had to cut away the cowl just to get the solenoids mounted in that location. I agree with Nic, just because the jetting sizes are incorrect doesn't mean the NXL is crap. Doesn't really seem really like that big of a deal but I agree they should have put out the proper sizes before they released the kit.

When some people talk about the jet changing on the half under the cowl, it strikes me as odd since you have the same problem on ANY DP.
BADZ, nice install, very nice actually.
Will stick with the NXL ordered.

Please don't take my post as being a put down towards Nitrous Express. I have ran their kits for several years and am on my third different setup. I was only reporting the facts on my installation and dyno because there are so many members wanting this type of information on the new NXL kit. I suspect the problem may be in the feed lines which go from the rails to the nozzles. The lines have a built in restriction in them, .032" I believe.
I wonder if it is because they use the same system on the small honda engines. NX says the restriction will still support up to 300 hp. I guess we'll see when a few more kits have been installed. The good news is there is absolutely no hp loss naturally asperated when using the nozzles. I just ran a new n/a best of 7.33 after installing the kit.
