Stock rebuild 4l60e with transgo shift kit.

Like I was saying about the automatic opener you really don't need one. I would put that last on my list. I never had any issues over many years of use just opening the bottle when taking the car out, then shutting it when I come home

I've seen the digital kits for $110+ and NX has a remote mount kit for $300+.. I was thinking it would be a simple $30 gauge with a line running from gauge to the tank . Didn't think it would be so costly to have one in the front of the car lol.. maybe with the adjustable bottle pressure sensor on the heater it isnt necessary to have eyes on it?

I'd like to be able to see it as well just so I know everything is good. I got the kit Friday! Everything looks good just no bottle clamps, activation, or WOT switch. Basic plate kit, solenoids, 10 lb bottle, all of the jets, and lines. It's an NX bottle which is kind of weird, but they all have the same purpose so not overly concerned. According to the schematics I may need to purchase a $20 Relay and harness as well.

Are there any advantages of using the plate kit? They do look nice and seem to make it a clean install under the hood.. I know there are a lot of accessories with nitrous that add up quick.. seems like you could drop 1500-1800 easily with a 92 plate kit, heater, remote opener, gauge, switches, lingenfelter modules, etc. What have you guys seen for total cost?

Another question I meant to ask was regarding piston gap.. will stock gap be okay for occasional 150 and below shots or should I have the machine shop gap them?

I believe his name is 5.7stroker, check out his thread for install and some good info. Sounds like you already shop the classifieds pretty good so by the time your ready for install you should be able to find some good deals on what you need yet.
