TNT vs. NX vs. NOS Your thoughts on each ??? I am trying to find out what everyone thinks of different kits for our cars.
My thoughts are:
TNT - Kits make good power, usually more than they are rated at, some people see this as good others as bad. I personally want to KNOW what I am spraying on my car. I dont want to put 100 shot pills in and put an extra 140rwhp down.
NOS - Good kit for the price, can easily be hidden, but needs good injectors if you have a high horsepower car.
NX - Makes good power and usually makes about the same amount of power they are rated at. Lifetime warranty on the solenoids. Have released the new MAF kit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Like I said these are just a few of my opinions on different kits. What are everyone elses thoughts?

Re: TNT vs. NX vs. NOS Your thoughts on each ??? my thoughts.
NX is the bomb, but that MAF kit is so overpriced i want to smash my dick with a hammer. The warranty IS good though. I had to go replace a sol. in WF a few weeks ago. Mine came damaged (i guess), the fuel sol. was bleeding pressure when closed. All in all, GREAT kits. and SUCH a sweet looking direct port system.
TNT's make awesome power. they ARE rated rear wheel on a stock motor...so you DO know what you're spraying. In reality a set of 100hp (different sizes than NX mind you) will likely produce 110-120rwhp on a mild bolt on car. you CAN always change the jets. the beauty of the kit is the better a/f charge and 2 nozzles with the ring. i dont think the solenoids are any better than NX's or NOS's larger ones. the TQ is what is leaps and bounds over anything else. again, i believe this is due to the A/F charge on the hose. Didnt James J. work for NX and start his own company? Seems he learned something. All in all (AGAIN) great kits. Plus they come with a few more items (NHRA stuff)...dont know about the warranty.
NOS kits are cool. you can find em cheap used...and they are so easy to hide. under the airbox or through a dummy IAT sensor. solenoids are laughable above the 100hp level and top out at 125. i know quite a few dudes that have ran 125hp jets and tried to move up to some 150 jets and gained nothing. then the -3 lines and your injectors become a wall.
the ultimate kit? any wet kit with a purge and all the extras. just wire the purge sol. as your main shot with a fan nozzle in the airbox. then wire your biggun through both your first stage, and what-ever safeties you have (wot, window). 100 dry out of the whole and 100 wet later on a manual switch. cheap, effective easy. OR if you have a 5177 you could pick up a TNT wet "conversion" and rather than convert, use a NOS y-block and some extra line to make it two stages. wire it like the other scenario. 10's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
