How long did it take? Mine took two months the first time. Then we had to send it back because they put one pair of solenoids on backwards.

It's been over six weeks now since we sent it back. Two weeks ago it was supposed to be in the mail. Friday they said they lost the shipping address. After spending so much on a kit I expect a hell of a lot better service than this.

Well it took a few weeks because I still have to work and I had to scrounge a few things for the system. The cell does not really get hot. My car has a lot of air flowing through the engine compartment. I really have nothing on my car forward of the radiator, plus a big hole up front where the license plate should rest.

I got one pull on the dyno, because I was running short on time with other cars to tune. After putting down 385 on the motor, I sprayed a 150-shot. Fuel pressure for the system was at 8psi and it was very rich.

Ran it up to only 6000rpm and then shut it off. Results were 509hp and 501tq with a very fat 10.1:1 AFR. I can drop the pressure to about 6.5psi to get to around 12:1 AFR and should see 535rwhp without too much trouble.

Finally got the dyno pull moved to the server. Notice there was a bit of a lean spike from 3600-4000, but then the fuel catches up. May have to set up an additional window switch to activate the fuel solenoid 400 rpm before the N2O solenoid.

Otherwise, very rich at 8psi of fuel pressure.

<img src="http://www.cofba.org/users/reckless/dp150.jpg" alt=" - " />

NX jetting, as with any other brand, is completely dependent of fuel pressure and your individual setup. I only have jetting for my setup at this time, and the steps are 100-150-200-250-300.
