Default NX MAF kit???

I am thinking of selling my NX MAF kit and going cam only. What do you guys think? I can see that spraying is going to get pretty expensive considering I have already been through a bottle and haven't even sprayed it at the track yet. It emptied a little quicker than I thought. I haven't decided for sure yet, but I am kinda leaning that way. I figure I can run a cam only car until I can build me a FI motor. I mean cam only cars are not slow...anyway, just like to get some opinions. Thanks

Well If your already concerned with the price of a bottle fill then I'd say go cam only, it only gets more expensive from where you are now.

Yeah, I know. It's not that I am that concerned about it. It just seems that everyone around here has it and I want something different.

Yup, I'll be there Saturday morning. I can throw that motor in the truck and bring it with me. I bet you run faster with this motor then your current setup with the spray. Are you going to be around? I guess we are all going out to eat Saturday night.

jeez.. are you spraying on the way to work?

seems like you should do a cam install and keep the spray for those special occasions until you go FI. I guess the cost is tied to the WOT switch on a N20 setup.

The cost is tied to something...I was spraying pretty much every time I left the house in it. You know just "making sure everything was working okay"

Just wait until you go to buy that turbo or S/C set up, you'll really have sticker shock.

But I won't have to refill something every week with that setup. The cost isn't the issue as much as me wanting something different than everyone else around here.

If cost isn't an issue than FI is the way to go. Judging by the mods listed in your sig I'd say your car is a street car. For a street car I'd probably go S/C.

Yeah...I really haven't made my mind(it changes from week to week). Just like now it looks like I am gonna end with a 408 nitrous motor pretty soon. I know it is still nitrous (which I said was getting expenxive), but it is a 408 and no one around here has anything like that. So that would be cool. Thanks for all of the opinions. As for now the car is a street car but by next year that will have changed.
