The pricing pretty much follows the performance level, spend more, you get more, spend less, you get less. I've installed many of each and really like the TNT kit's design and performance, but also have never had a problem with the generic NX kit.
Well said!! Altleast 4 the most part.. Ohh and can I say sick sick S I C K Vette in the sig!!!

David- 600hp is the flow capability of the MAF system. Kinda tough to find people willing to let us use their LS? or LT? cars for testing 600hp nitrous systems. On the other hand, in just comparing the MAF to the F1 only using 1 stage the MAF will do 300hp to the rear wheels, and before your curiosity is raised I have seen in person a car run that level.

Oh Now Generic NX come on, 
the MAF kit is not generic. It simply is the best, cleanest, most sexy kit for the Camaro's and Firebirds. And soon for the Vettes and trucks. Generic damn I got to start working harder, 
generic, I kinda feel like Coke Cola. Wait thats not bad everyone knows who Coke is. lol

i have had 3 nitrous kits in the past. 1st was the NX single nozzle..nice, easy reliable install. my 2nd kit was NX DP lt1/ls1 kit. clean install but i had too many problems with leaky railing and bad soenoids. 3rd kit i converted to TNT F2. all i can say is WOW. that thing hits like a frieght train. i would say that it put down more power than my NX DP just by the seat of the pants meter(not most acturate way of measuring HP output by the way) on the same 150 hp setting. now i am using a TNT F4 DP.i have not completed my engine yet, but i know i wont be disappointed with the results on a 300 shot. TNT has my vote, hope it counts for something since i have used both companys.

let me try to clearify what Jeremy made comments on.
10 or 15 pound bottle, -4 feed line, shark nozzle kit 434hp to be perfectly clear. Nostalgia prostreet, at the time limited to a single -4 line. now there are several differrent hose mfg;s in the world. Not sure about your flow test with yalls -4 hose, but ours did achieve that hp.

I have always used the TNT kit. The power ring takes all of 20 mins to install if you have any common sense and a lil patience.... From personal experience the TNT kit makes more torque across the board on similar setups.
I ran a power ring on my heads/cam setup for 2 years. Made over 600 ft lbs on a 100 shot with a very nitrous friendly cam. Built my current motor and went TNT F4 with 200 pills and made 658/729 with a 346 LS1
I have looked at several NX kits and have contemplated running a NX direct port on my current project but I am leaning toward TNT due to past experiences.
This is all just my opinion. No harm, no foul......
Maybe TNT could step up and work out a lil "sponsorship" on this curent project
Sure would be nice to have the TNT plumbed on the intake for the magazine article

Correct me if i am wrong. It would save me money since i wont have to cut anything up. And if i was to put it in the smooth bellow (NX KIT single nozzle) would that be a safe way to run that kit? I mean i have not intention on running 300 shots like you guys are talken about, i just want one that will run 75 to a 100hp safe and be the most economical but not cheap, sounds to me that NX single nozzle would be best for me.thx rob

Either way, you are going to cut/modify something. Might as well go with the most practical kit.
FWIW, if you ever take the kit off, 9 times out of 10 the guy buying the kit has a lid on his car and will give you his for your cut one. So essentially, you are out ZERO.....
Yeah, I understand that, the more i look at the NX kit, the TNT comes with more for a lil bit more money. It looks like to me the NX kit would cost about 800 some to get a decent kit with purge,heater,blow down tube,etc. The TNT F1 kit from nitro daves looks like it comes more complete for lil more money, it looks like u only need a purge and bottle heater, plus the safety equip. for each. I think i am leaning toward the f1 tnt kit, also what is that bracket that people have on the F1 kit that mount the noids along side of it?
thx rob
thx rob
The bracket is inlcluded with the TNT kit. Its a CNC piece that allows you to mount your noids with no troubles. Very convenient....... F1, purge, window switch, warmer.... Have fun!!!!
Rob,
Both kits are great kits.However no one has mentioned the NX dual nozzle kit.This is also a great kit.It does not come with a power ring but it does have the two peice nuts that hold it firm into the Bellow.

good point, AMERICAN MADE IS GREAT, but hell our car were made in canada lol whateva though. I am really liking the power ring setup with the way those noids are mounted, when they are mounted that way do they affect the hood clearence since i have a WS6?jw. What is a good bottle heater and a purger dynotune?also what about timing tuner in a box, will that work as a window switch if i read it right from thunder racing?
thx rob
