Juiced up A while back I bought a used nx wet kit for my trans am. With its current mods: torquer v2 cam, LT headers, LS6 intake, Monster 2, 3:90 gears (stock 10), and some suspension mods I was looking to make a little more power.
The kit came with nx solenoids (fuel/N20), shark nozzle, jets for 100 shot, 10lb bottle, bottle mount, bottle heater, msd window switch, WOT switch, lines, and a gauge.
I set up the kit, using wiring diagrams online and what I could find here, installed the MSD in the glove box. Then I bought the racetronix fuel system and hot wire kit and did the trap door install. Mounted the bottle in the trunk/spare tire area.
For my gauge and switches I made a panel using solidworks and a 3d printer.
Picked up a purge from nitrous outlet, and took my car up to Mayhem Motorsports for a once over and tune. Tuning was cut short, due to fuel solenoid failure. Ordered the new fuel noid and after a few other surprises came up they were able to get the car on the dyno again.
Car made 487/490 with the 100 shot, and 511/509 with a 150 shot while bouncing on the dyno. Overall Im pretty happy with the results, working on gathering funds for a rear end so I can safely make some passes. I want to say thanks to Mayhem, and those that helped me along the way.

That's Great !
Im going to ask a Newb Question. Couldn't you have someone drill and tap a hole into the throttle body that aims the nozzle back towards the intake so the Nitrous flows directly back into the intake instead of where it is now ?
Seems like it would shoot into the other side of the bellow now then flow back.
