Thats kind of what I thought as well, either that or an old school NOS kit. They are without a doubt the cheapest kits advertised on the site now which can be a good thing, but.... "You get what you pay for" seems to keep flashing in my head after looking at the kits and prices.

I bought some cold fusion solenoids a few months back and they were pretty nice, seemed to be as good as anything else out there. No experience with their kits, but just my $.02.

I personally run a TNT kit on my car and love it.

You know that NX & TNT make pretty damn reliable kits. Why risk your motor on a basically unknown kit just to save a buck or 2?

Their business practices are a little fishy to me & that turns me off to their stuff.

Says he has better solenoids than NX in this thread even though his noids will not work in the kit this thread is about

Makes claims that another vendor is selling used bottles with their kits in this thread

Claims he has had pocket bike kits for a long time and undercuts another vendor after this thread was posted
Pocket bike systems thread

In this thread Mike logs in to the site as another user acting like a customer of cold fusion and saying how they are such a great company and then slips up and makes a post as this user instead of "nitrous mike"
Mike's solenoid exchange program

This thread kind of explains the previous thread I posted
who is redls12003

I don't feel the need to dig up any more posts now, but that should keep you busy with some reading for awhile

I'm sure some with agree with me on this one or possibly not, brand names dont always matter, but for me, using nitrous is a delicate process, I have seen some non-brand name solonoids not putting out exactly what there advertised to flow, and that can end up is not getting the right fuel/nitrous ratio which we all know dont go together to well, I may possibly buy something from Cold-Fusion to test out myself, not putting down his business in any way, I'm sure his products are 100% legit, I agree with JamNut on this one, I just have quite a bit of money in my engine to take a chance and save a few bucks.

To me, this companies ethics are a litte questionable. Personally, I'll stay with companies that have had reliable reputations in product quality and customer service for a long time. Many of the other sponsors offer n2o kits at reasonable prices, and have never done anything childish or questionable on this board.

If it were me and I was going to put a brand new nitrous kit on my car I would go with TNT. Before you I'd call up the Nitrous Outlet. I have always had great transactions with them and would never hesitate about going back!!
