What is the amp draw of the NEW NX nitrous solenoids?
also if it isn't already.... are there any nitrous solenoids that are extremely low current? (1-3 amps)
Thanks in advance

Ohms law works for calculating curent draw.
Battery Voltage / Coil Resistance = Amp Draw
13.8 volts / .4 ohms = 34.5 amps as an example.
Also the temp of the solenoid can affect the resistance/amp draw. Use a Volt-Ohm Meter to determine the resistance and measure your running battery voltage.

It can't be drawing that much current. I was running 2 big tnt solinoids off a single 40amp relay and 30 amp fuse and never poped the fuse. I also ran a nx wet shot with a 25 amp fuse for 2 solinoids and never poped that either. My guess would be around 10 amps per solinoid.
