Thanks again to Don, Eric and Jared! Just finished my NX setup. The tps isn't working yet, but we put in a manual micorswitch that woks great.

Nice setup. Add a remote opener and you'll be set.

It's already wired for it and the switch is setup. I just need to decide which one to get.

Probably the NX...

Very nice install...except for the purge solenoid, lol, just giving you hell. It all looks very clean, you guys did a good job on it. One question though, it looks like the bottle is sitting with the valve pointing to the side, is it or is the picture taken at a funky angle? If the vavle is pointing to the side I would suggest rotating it so that it points toward the ground, this will place the siphon tube at the correct angle.

I dynoed a 75 shot to 411 rwhp, shutting the nitrous off at 5600. It was the first test (besides a few blasts on a side street...) I'll probably go ahead and run the 75 shot at the track starting at 3000 and shutting it down at 6200 and see what kind of times I get. I'm probably going up to a 100 shot, but I want to see how the clutch holds up and what my 60s are like. I'm running MT ET Street Radials, so I want to see how hard it hits on the launch. The 100 shot should put me right at 450 rwhp.

Here's my dyno sheet:

Look Great number are pretty nice too. If you have issues with turning the bottle vavle to point down, once the bottle is empty, just remove the valve and clock the syphon tube. Becareful, to make sure the bottle is completely empty, and the syphon tube is soft aluminum and can be positioned easly.

As long as the bottle is full 1-3 passes you should be good like you are.

I've got the positioning worked out now. I needed to plumb in a filter anyway, so I got a 4an swivel 90 to put on the bottle. I'm running a short hose over to the passenger fender where I'll mount the pressure switch and filter. That should make pulling the bottle easy and I can position it properly. I'll post some new pics when I'm done.

Nice install, I can't believe you went that long before jetting up. I put in the 75's first test run, went down the street, and then back to my house, and put in the 150's, this stuff is problably what crack is like, just can't get enough, LOL keep us posted.
