Fed ex delivered my goods yeserday! The kit looks sweet. Every component is very high quality! The only thing is, It did not come with the interface?
Must of been a mixup when it got packaged?
Must of been a mixup when it got packaged? That is such a killer package and run the exact same. what is really nice is the ability to expand the system later when your ready. Add another N2O solenoid and some fittings/line and you are set for a dual stage. then you could lock out the second stage in 1st gear and end up running a whole lot more HP over all and safely. So very many combos we can do, it's like unlimited. I did the dual stage conversion and love it. Used the dual noid wet LS2 bracket to mount both N2O solenoids directly on to the TB and think it looks great. Congrats on a great choice. you can see the NX Stage 6 noids I used on the mount, just for insight, and maybe for a later mod, lol. Yep, we all know once you get going you will never stay at 75/100, lol, none of us ever did.

If you are **** about daily driving I think a 3600 stall will be too loose for you.
Others that know these cars better might disagree but with my knowledge of Converters I would think 3600 is kinda high for a nitrous car. When I was looking for my converter I didn't want to go to high because nitrous raises your stall speed by 500 rpms. Thus your 3600 will stall around 4100. Again some gurus can chime in but this should be accurate regardless of the car.

Whats your guys thoughts on adding a nano 3000 universal kit to the hsw dry plate setup? I might sell the bottle heater and go this route, need some opinions first...
cant go wrong with a nano. I never used one but from what I've read they are way better than any heater and maintain a steady pressure all the way through a run, and you can use all the nitrous in the bottle without losing pressure.
The only problem is now your going to have 2 bottles to fill instead of just one.

its really not needed at that small of a shot...your not losing hardly any pressure during the run, but it will allow you to have more passes on 1 bottle. its very easy to fill the 3000psi at any dive/paintball shop for about $5.
it can get to hot depending on the weather, and you have to put a wet towel on it to cool it off and lower the bottle pressure.

Thanks for the info! This is exactly what I needed to know! I can get a nano 3000psi setup for 250.00. Sound like a deal?

but NANO really shines on the big hits....that just means you'll be forced to up the jets Chad

I cant until I get bigger injectors and pump. Decisions decisions....What size shot does nano mainly "shine" on? I don't think ill ever spray more than 150 on this setup. So should I just stick with the bottle heater?
200 hit would really start to show gains...there is an article somewhere (I think GMTP) where the showed the gains on the dyno and it picked up considerably throughout the entire power band due to the constant pressure.

how many runs do you think a 10# bottle will last on a 75 shot with nano? Just tryin to get an Idea how much I will be refilling the bottles to start. going to lockout first gear for now, so only 2 gear on up will get the hit.

dont mean to kinda bring this up from the dead, but do you get it installed? also any pics? and how are you liking it?
Im thinking about the exact same setup you have. I also have stock injectors/fuel pump so just want to do 100 shot dry.
Is HSW still doing 20% off?
