Default opinions on this kit

I bought it a while back ago and was told yesterday that this kit had problems with interrupting the fuel injector. Has anyone personally used this? Also was told that tuning would be an issue. I just want to see if its worth installing or not.
The first pic is what it looks like installed, I found it doing a search.



These bottom two is the actual kit i bought.

I don't see why it would be any different than a direct port with the injectors 2" away?

It should have BETTER fuel atomization than a traditional direct port since the fuel and nitrous are all atomizing at one place instead of in different places in the runner. The phase change(where nitrous changes from liquid to gas) will take place in the combustion chamber and no where else. with this set-up should give you the hardest 'hit' of power than anywhere else since it hasn't had a chance to expand and change phases anywhere else until it gets to the combustion chamber.

Granted there aren't several sharp 90's stacked one after another like in your solenoids input/output and in the bottle valve itself.

Thanks a lot! That puts me more at ease. I should have the car ready to go in about 2-3 months. Starting from scratch

JL those nitrous nozzle bungs don't plug into the intake.

They plug into a cup that the injector sits in which then the injector pokes through and into the intake.

My first stage of direct port on my car is those nozzles. They work great. I had them on my FAST 90 intake and they worked great. I now have them on a Vic Jr. intake they they seal great on that intake as well. Tuning was just fine with them. You will like them, I would say use the kit for sure.

NX really has some ingenious and inventive stuff.

Glad to hear a first hand account of using them with great results.

Was wondering the same thing because I found a couple of the NOS brand direct port under injector ones Cheap. Still wonder how they would hide under LTx corvette fuel rail covers & will they do a 300 shot easy. Not tryin to hijack your post!!! Just figured it might help get more input....

I think it's a good design it atomizes the fuel at one place.

I'll be using a victor jr intake. Elbow and 102tb.

I looked into the Noszles, but saw a few bad reveiws on them not sealing. I am not sure how they will work on a LTx tho. If you use them you will have to post something up on how well they work. I went with the NX kit because they had way better reviews and most everything I have used in the past was NX.

Look into switching to a top mounted 4 barrel throttle body with a speed density tune. You will get much better results.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the noszle kit that NOS used to make. It's probably the reason why it didn't last too long.

This is also an option for me. The ONLY reason I really wanted an elbow was that I bought an SS roller with a sunoco hood. I really hate it when people run huge hoods but have nothing under it to require that big thing. It just looks I might be falling into that category now though.

My opinion is if you have the single plane intake, you have a reason to have that big cowl on your hood. Plus it will help run the numbers. I only see advantages.
