my my...someones testy.

my airfuel was about 11.6-11.9. theres still somemore tuning to be made but all in all, its worked out great so far. going on a year with this system, sprayin it atleast 3 times a weekend with no issues...other than the fact of some faulty grounds once or twice which prevented the system from coming on which was corrected fairly easily.

Use this info how you will, but I went 9.80's on a TNT 200 wet shot. This wasn't even a direct port. Just a regular ole wet kit. I will admit, the TNT kit is of awesome quality and power!!!

I have nothing bad or good to say about NX because I have never had any dealings with it.

yea i could see how that could be a major problem, like if they say a 125 shot and u have a stock fuel pump but the kit hits a 150 shot, u could have a major problem down the road. What I liked about the TNT F1 kit is the 150 shot did do 150 (sometimes above a hair sometimes below) but the Torque was way way up there, more then most kits I have seen.

DAVE...its all in good humor...everyones aware of the "orifus" size and whatnot of the TNT jets...point is..it makes power...thats all i was concerned with...i would have been equally impressed if it put down exactly 150 to the wheels. comparing nitrous kits is like comparing cars...everyone has their prefferance but all have their strong points.
to the original poster...goodluck in your decisions.

I had to reread my post this morning and ask myself if I was out of line on any thing.LOL It was late and I have been sick all week but I was just trying to get a point across about how jetting works.You would be amazed how many people do not understand how this works.

There is a little bit more to it than that though Dave. The jets are rated for a certian pressure. If you have more or less nitrous, or fuel pressure for that matter than the manufacturer intended, you will see different results. From what I can tell, this is the reason some people make more power than advertised on some kits, too much bottle pressure.

this is true also..but not in my case as i was only at 820psi bottle pressure...it was a cold day in january and we were at a dyno day so my time came up rather quick before i had ample time to generate enough pressure with my heater. i may lose/gain/or be the same with a little more pressure..ill find out in about 3 weeks and post the results.

I have a TNT F1 kit. With the 150shot jetting I gained 8 tenths and 8mph in the 1/8 mile. TNT customer service is great in my opinion. Got a lot of help from the guys over there. Not a bad looking install either.



P.S. When it comes to jetting, remember, the bottle pressure does not need to be near as high with the TNT kit as most other kits that I have read about or seen. Most poeple like to keep their bottle over 1000. I believe TNT recommends 900. If you jack your bottle pressure up over 1000, you're probably gonna get a bit more power out of the TNT kit with their 150 jetting over say an NX or NOS 150 jetting.

Correct pressures will change jetting. It will also change air fuel mixtures... So will connections in the lines such as dual solenoids, T fittings,manafolds etc.
My point I am trying to make is that I can take any quality kit with a good nozzle desighn that puts a nozzle or two nozzles before the throttle body and make it make the HP and torque I am looking for simply by changing jetting.

I love it when this topic comes up! haha. To the original question, the power ring is a good design that TNT put some time into designing and getting it to make good power. My suggestion would be to do as much research as you can about the power ring and other systems as well for comparison, and then decide which system best suits your likes/needs. There is going to be good and bad opinions made about every single nitrous system and part on the market, so take in as much information as you can get.

Dave, how do you always seem to end up in the middle of topics like these?

Ohh come on now.I agree the TNT is a great quality system. I like there system and the quality in the system so please do not take my post as a shot at the TNT system.Not once in any of my post have I directed anything at the TNT system.
My post was and is stll about jetting.I just want the guys that do not understand how advertise jetting works.
I read all the time where people base there openions of a system off of what the system did by how much power it made on the manafacture advertise jetting.All that is is a starting point.Just because one system makes less or more HP off of the starting jetting does not mean the system is better or worse than the next.Its the quality and the completeness of the system that makes it what it is.

I think maybe I typed my point wrong or it was taken in the wrong fashion.

To some it up guys.Please do not take my post as saying the TNT system will not make hp or torque or that its a bad system.We all know its a good quality system and it makes good power. That was not the intention of my post.
Dave

I was just messin with ya Dave, it's all good. I got what you said earlier, it's just funny to me how often the topic of jetting is brought up and how often you end up trying to explain it, lol. Advertised jetting and hp is one of the most misleading things about nitrous systems IMO.

I have a TNT wet kit, we run 11.6 all motor and ran 10.8 @ 127 and 10.7 @ 126 back to back on 100 shot 900psi bottle pres. A 100 shot should give you .7 in the 1/4 and 150 shot should give you a second. We got .9 I am sold on TNT. Just my 2 cents.

Well, I hope they did change the design on the power ring a little to make it easier to install, if so thats the kit that I am gonna go with is TNT, I had it once before and the install of the power ring was a little tedious and required a lot of patience.

The new design (the polished aluminum ring instead of the purple ring) is a lot better than the original design from what I've heard. We had no trouble pressing the new style ring on the throttle body.
