Default Opinions on these kits???

What kit is the safest and yet most effective for my car?



Product ID: F-1003-10 Category: TNT KIts
LS1 System
Description: TNT features two systems designed for the LS-1. The F-1003-10 with power adjustable gains from 75-150 rear wheel horsepower or F-2003-10 which adjusts from 150-250 additional real wheel horsepower.
Price: $754.00


----------------------------------------------------------------


The ZEX™ Wet Nitrous Oxide System has the most advance features of any wet nitrous oxide system on the market. All components, such as the solenoids and activation electronics, are factory pre-assembled inside the Nitrous Management Unit. This ensures you will be spending less time in the garage installing the system and more time out having fun. The patent pending Fuel Shear technology used in the ZEX™ nitrous nozzle, places the enrichment fuel directly inside the high-speed nitrous oxide plume exiting the nozzle. This results in the most complete atomization of enrichment fuel possible. Super-fine atomization of enrichment fuel ensures maximum horsepower and eliminates fuel puddling that can cause intake backfires. Even the way the ZEX™ Nitrous System is activated is unique. Instead of relying on crude micro-switches or push buttons, the ZEX™ wet nitrous system uses advanced electronics to learn the throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage curve. It then programs itself for your specific vehicle and, when armed, will only activate the nitrous system at wide-open throttle. This ensures perfect engagement every time the nitrous system is used. Advanced features like this make the ZEX™ wet nitrous system the easiest to install, the most powerful, and the most reliable nitrous system on the market.

$672.75

--------------------------------------------------------------


You asked for it, NX invented it! The "Next Generation" nitrous company has scored again with the hottest nitrous system on the market. The NX Gemini Twin EFI system replaces the factory MAF sensor housings on LT-1 and LS-1 GM cars. This 6061-billet aluminum high flow MAF housing will increase airflow and the twin discharge nitrous system will make your F-body a giant killer! Single or dual stage 35 to 300 horsepower, times two, available.

Jobber Price: 1028.00
--------------------------------------------------------------


Tune Port Injection Systems
Some of the most popular NOS® "plate" systems are those that are designed for the GM Tuned Port Injection (TPI) electronic fuel injection systems. These systems were used on the Chevrolet 5.0 and 5.7L V-8 engines that were available on 1985-92 Camaro and Firebird models, and the 1985-91 Corvette. NOTE: Not for LT1 engines.
These systems are easily installed and feature a spray bar plate that mounts between the throttle body and the intake plenum. They can be adjusted to produce from between 100 and 150 extra horsepower, with provided jets. Activation is through a microswitch that is throttle-activated. All necessary plumbing and hardware is included to make a complete system. A detailed instruction manual is also provided. This manual also serves as an excellent tuning guide.

Throttle Body Injection Systems
NOS® has a nitrous kit available for most every GM engine that came from the factory equipped with a throttle body fuel injection system. This includes the 2.8L and 4.3L V-6 engines and also 5.0 and 5.7L V-8 small blocks and the 454 CID big block engine. Special 50-State legal kits (EO #D-266) are available for many of these applications.

Well of course I vote NX for the best products and best customer service available.
You should also look into the dual nozzle system that we have on special for 599.99.
Here is a link.

What kind of car do you have? I see you are comparing a NOS TPI kit to a LS1 kit from TNT and NX?

I have had great results from the NX MAF.

You should have comparable kits, as nobody on this site is going to vote for a tuned port kit, regardless of manufacturer. I like NOS myself, but in this vote I go for American made TNT, allthough each has it's good points, except for the ricy purple color.

Edit: All wet kits are about the same in the safety catagory, considering using the same safety equipment on each.

Robert,
I disagree,Different parts are from different manafactures.Different quality..Deisighnes are also different between different companys.

Also if you actually look were every peice in any kit comes from you will probley find out that not all parts are made in the US.
I wish they did but its getting less common everyday.

I disagree with you Dave, unless your speaking for your own product..We know exactly where our parts are made Im sorry if that upsets you, but we have the right to say that.. Our only exception is bottle valve which is made in Italy, not becuase of the price but the quality hasent been matched.. Thanks 4 your oppinion though..

TNT Dave is always fighting with NXRicky and Nitro Dave I think we should have a rumble in the jungle to see who's kit to run

My personal opinion is NX.

I had some issues a long while back but Ricky and Dave have been more than fantastic to deal with and I would recommend them over and over again.

Dave,
No hard fillings bud.That was not a atack at TNT products.It was merly a statement from what I have learned through out time.And see you already confirmed that your products are not a 100 percent US product.

Anyways as sad as it is almost nothing is a 100 percent US made.Our government has made it to easy to move corperations out of the states where people work for little to nothing leaving our people in the US out of jobs.

Im sorry is if you think I am fighting?? I just clarified what was said about American made.. So you know NX is the only nitrous company TNT reccomends other than our own.. That is a fact.. But I do agree on the whole "rumble in the jungle to see who's kit to run" statement.. Check out the TNT v.s. NX thread.. We are down for a good challenge..

That is very true Dave, but you can pay more 4 the American made parts.. It unfortunatley cuts into mark up..

David,I have a question for you.
So I guess yall would take comparable systems and do a challenge from the ease of install to performance.You would have to do it on the same exact car on the same exact day,at the same exact everything.You guys would also have to compare jetting to make sure they are the same.Im just wondering how that would work.
There will be alot of time involved.
Seems interesting but I know would be hard to do during the busy season.

Most definately.. The same car, same day, same jetting, even the same solenoids if they want.. I think it would allow the customer to see the real differences in product design.. And as far as a busy season goes, we arnt open on saturday or sunday so weekends shouldent be a problem..

Besides I think the customers of all of our companies are worth our time to show them the data they need to make their educated decisions about purchasing nitrous products.. Sounds like a good idea to you 2 huh??

I personaly cant see it being worth the time.I feel that with the SAME jetting the two kits will perform the same.
Just my 2 cents.
