I personally like our Halo system the best out of any of the dry kits on the market. We offer three different dry kits and there all priced right with the best parts available.

We carry a few Dry Kits. The CFN ones are up on our site and the new HSW ones will be up shortly.

Thanks,
Matt

"...wet kits are the best." That's debatable? Check out all the vendors, do a little research (search function) and make an informed decission. You can't go wrong working with one of the vendors, as they will take the time to help in any way needed.

Soooo.. while you're all here, what exactly is the difference between your base dry kits? They all look the same to me except your respecitve stickers applied to the bottles/solenoid.

There are differences between the parts used in different systems. I suggest taking a close look at each vendors system ask questions and decide what is best for you. We offer a single nozzle dry kit for 349 as well but I personly take more pride in talking about our Halo system.Just like our other dry kits it comes complete with a NX 10 bottle with the new 45 valve,20ft main feed line,Quick release stainless bottle brackets,300 HP lifetime warrenty solenoid with prge port desighn, wot switch,jets,fittings,hoses,etc.
The Halo also uses the halo spray bar for a better distribution of nitrous and cleaner install.It also has a liquid filled nitrous pressure gauge,fuel pressure safety switch,NHRA valve and Blow down tube.
Our prices are 349 for the single nozzle,400 for the dual nozzle, and 499 for the Halo. Unfortintly our prices are no lower than priced here.However I do gaurantee unbeatable customer service with the best quality and complete systems.

My best advice would be to look at all systems and compare part to part.Any dry kit will get the job done. Just pick the one that works best for you.
Dave

The new HSW wet & dry kits are pretty slick. It's totally configurable by you. So what exactly does that mean? Well you choose if you want a single or dual nozzle kit, along with what solenoid bracket style and what color braided lines you want, along with their end fittings. You even choose if you want to run a single or dual 3 port (for a purge) solenoid (for safety). Everything in this kit is stainless steel and aluminum, no brass parts at all.

We also offer the CFN dry kits that are a great "bang for the buck" kit.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Matt

Nitrous kits come with a "arming" switch. If the kit is not armed via the switch it can't spray.

I personally prefer the wet systems. I like the torque they create.

ROFL i tell ya i should login here just for a daily dose of entertainment..Every vendor here offers configurable nitrous systems.. you can have anything you want in any config.. and no colored hoses don't make you faster lol

We really do prefer wet kits here for the power potential, torque, and relibability and complete real control over fuel delivery.

Just the amount of Nitrous that the system can flow.

With some kits that's all it is...talk. I'm an end user and converted to NX man. I tried a kit that worked well for ricers...muscle deserves dedication to design, great customer service. Whatever you do, build a strong relationship with your vendor. Don't buy something from anyone who won't help educate you on the way. I have had great luck with Nitro Dave.
