TNT makes very good kits. I bought the power ring seperately as I already had a nitrous kit and wanted to clean things up a little bit with either a maf kit or power ring. I had no problems installing the power ring, haven't used it yet, but it's installed.

It's a good kit. The install can be a little diffucult, but it isn't that bad. Take your time with it and you'll be fine.

I'd go ahead and buy it. You may have to trim your lid alittle but it's not to bad. It's a good quality kit for sure.

If you have the room for the power ring, it's a nice piece. I didn't.

Now that Nitro Dave has announced that he's coming out with his own N2O plate, I'm going to go with one of them. It's working fine as it is, but I'm just not crazy about having my nozzle mounted in the silicone hose coupling.

I got mine from Dave, it was an older TNT unit, but still fine. I hope it works, if not I am sure he will let me send it back from a credit toward his nos plate.

I think it will work as my installer specifically told me he liked the tnt ring and that is the only reason I bought one.

Thanks Trooper.

I am trying to determine bottle locations now. The trunk is fine, but I have such a pretty aluminum bottle holder I hate to hide it.
