Default Recent Proton Plus wet kit reviews

I've had my eye on the Nitrous Express Proton plus kit for quite a while but haven't pulled the trigger, just trying to gather as many reviews as I can before committing to it.
-any recent users of this wet nozzle kit without any issues with the solenoids? Failed solenoids are my bigger fear with a kit like this so I'd appreciate any good/bad results anybody has had with this kit. I'd be using a nitrous filter.

Thanks

Is their 2018 kit different than previous years?

I was hoping the title wouldn't cause confusion as I meant recent 2018 results of recently purchased proton plus kits. Just in case quality control got worse or better for example. They appear to be unchanged in what's included in the kit.

Gotcha. Well all I can tell you is that I own a NX single nozzle wet kit that's at least 10 years old and I've never had a single problem, so their quality is very good. I think the Proton is a great value for the user that wants to run smaller shots. I'll be curious what others have to say, but in my opinion NX makes great quality stuff, and I wouldn't hesitate to run the Proton kit if I didn't have my current setup

Awesome to hear and I'll complement the kit with the NX digital window switch as I need one and it sounds like NX has reliable products.

Yup, I do my own tuning so I'll adjust the timing accordingly in the 3500-6200 rpm range. I'm guessing that's a good range for the window switch settings based on quick searches.
I have a 2005 lq4, CNC heads, 10.78:1 CR, 226/231 .598/.605 lift, 1 7/8" headers with 3 inch x pipe, th400, 3.73, 3800 stall, 3064 lbs. Haven't had my heads back from the shop yet but based on last year's dyno, the same cam peaked around 6200 rpm with a tbss intake. Planning on a 100 shot but eventually 125 to maybe a 150 shot, all wet and nozzled. Giving this info out in case there are any specific recommendations based on my setup.

I ran the box stock proton plus at 100hp for a while. Best of 10.98 @126. Was 11.6 @119 n/a. Did one dyno run at 150hp and blew through the converter making 550rwhp. Upgraded the lines and fittings to flow 250+ and using a 102mm plate. Working on installing a stand alone fuel system once the car gets back from being caged. It's a neat little kit with more than capable solenoids.

those are decent results, it seems like a 125 shot would knock off a second from your NA times. Were you spraying right on the launch?

Rolled into it after launch. Went 1.6 60’. And it was a 100 shot. With the law of dimensioning returns, .7 reduction is perfectly acceptable.
