Nothing can get whipped up around here it take a long time as yall know to build this stuff.

Bug the hell out of Ricky until he tells the machinist to make it happen
Now that just wrong to tell people to bug me, just wrong. Jeremy I will you my current responabilities except prototype-ing and then I could decate all my time to build cool parts... Oh yea your pay stay the same....

needed tools for kit install: allen key for MAF dissassembly, drill for switches, drill for bottle brackets, 2 wrenches for bottle bracket installation, screwdriver to remove interior parts to run wires.

Total time : 1 to 2 hours.

A 5 year old that can put together a model could install it... that alone should bea big enough sellign point to make it happen!

Rickey, get on it man!
Really take about 4-5 hours to do a clean complete install. about 10 minutes to swap the ends. , 10 minutes to mount the bottle, , Run the nitrous line about 20 minutes, , start b-s'ing an hour, , Runner the fuel line 1 hour, , What were we doing oh yea, hook up the electricallllllll . See it took take alittle longer...

THAT is WRONG! I would not want to put up with all the BS you have to (like dealing with me and the others, ). This is what I see Ricky doing most of the day, , haha. I wouldn't mind having the R&D/Prototyping job though...I would even do it for the same pay just to be able to design and play with products.

I also retract my previous statement about bugging Ricky. Everyone leave him the hell alone so he can get these parts finished for you guys.....and so he can finish that car of his

Damn, and I thought I jsut got the go ahead to bug the hell outta someone.... damn.




If you need a test car for that setup for the 3 piece MAF, lemme know, I'm in good with a shop taht would be more then willing to do something with ya, they are nitrous guru's over there at Eastside, I'm sure they'd love to see the setup and do a before and after dyno results and all that for ya.

I'd be happy to give ya real world track #'s with it on and off too.. give me an excuse to go back to the track

I also wouldn't run a MAF either, but that's another story. Thing looks to be only slightly more restrictive than the usual MAF gear.

Let's see:
overpirced check
restrictive check
can't hide it check
fuel jacuzzi check
backfire in intake pending

I qualify my overpriced statement by comparing it to equipment for a dry system that will do a better job. No matter what it costs, it's too much.
This mentality comes to the forefront when a person does not understand the root cause of a serious backfire... A LEAN condition. Wanna see a great example spray a dry kit at 1500 rpm. Or add pure oxygen when you light your cigarette...after your nose is relocated explain again why excess fuel is required for an explosion. Buzz word here: Catalyst

I'm confused... So I can use this new kit, or have to use the old one... I like the looks of this one better....

All cars that came with the multi-piece MAF sensor (LT1's, 2000 and older Corvettes, all LS1 F-bodies) have to use the old/current NX MAF system.

Only cars that came with the newer one-piece MAF sensor (2001+ Corvettes) or other cars that have been retrofitted with the one-piece MAF sensor can use the new MAF system.

HP flow number with solenoids intact as seen in pictures was maxed out at 235 hp , So the jetting max will be a comfortable 200hp. Still flowing for the larger noids, should end up around 350-400 hp .....
Now I am faced with a delema.
I would like to know if yall would like to see inbetween jetting come with the kit....
Right now I have flowed jetting hp as follows.
35-50-75-100-125-150-175-200. All these setting might be in kit from the get go.

I say do a generic jetting of 50-75-100-150-200 to keep the cost down...unless the extra jetting isn't going to me much more...in that case, the more jets the better.


P.S.

The kit looks

I'd say 100-150-200. I guess the 75 to use for the shake down passes. 50 just seams like way to small of a shot for someone to spend that much money on. $/HP doesn't justify that small of a shot in my head.

Good job!!

I'd include the 75, 100, 125, 150 175 jetting... anyone wanting to run more then that probably shouldn't be looking at this setup anyway, they should be looking at a direct port... but that's my opinion. A setup like this is a good looking piece, that will go on alot fo show/shine cars, and cars that are street/etrip, probably won't end up on too many race cars. Usually guys with race cars that run nitrous are either running large amounts, 200 plus, and are going for big runs, where a DP is the best route, are tryin to ad a little bit onto a head/cam or the like type car, or are doing it in a stealthy manner that noone will see.. this could work for the 2nd choice, but either the first or the 2nd.

Myself, a guy that wants to get his car into the low 11's on motor, and run mid 10's on the hose, with a car that will be going to more car shows then it will race days, could probably put this to good use.

Hmmm...Will this be my third stage which is ready and waiting (partialy installed=wirinng/sws, supply line etc)? or do I split up a pair if redundant noids and go dry/dry/dry? Ran a 11.73 tonight on a 50rwhp dry hit on new clutch with mild launch.
