You have an automatic so you don't even need the window switch. 100hp is a small shot.

If it's the 5177 your looking at, it's a great and almost hassle free kit. With your mods, you will be fine with a 100-125 shot.

BTW: Even though you have an automatic, still get a window switch. If you blow by the stock shift point and bang the limiter you could have yourself some serious issues. Don't forget to change your plugs too.

I think a 125 shot or so will get you real close. It depends how those Nittos are working for you.

75/100 dry is a cake walk on the lsx platform. Very safe, very easy and afforable. I would like to suggest checking out the new PRO Dry kit we offer. It is a better quality kit than the 5177. Lifetime warranty on the 400hp noid, SS nozzles all the safety stuff a good price and unlimited before, during and after install tech help/advice. Look for the thread Introducing new dry kit for more info, and here is a pic. Let me know If I can help, I would love to earn your buss/trust.

Robert, is this an entry level kit? How come your only going with 1 solenoid, does the kit come with a good filter?

Well the main reason for dual noids is a safety back up for sticking noids. The 400hp noid in the PRO Dry kit has a higher amp rating and thus can over come contaminate based sticking much easier than the low amp 5177 noids. Now with that said, redundant noids are an option with the PRO Dry and I will likely do it myself. NOS is the only company that does the redundant on dry as standard. As for entry level, yes, and also for the advanced guy that wants a better all around kit compared to the 5177, very easy install and high quality was the goal. It comes with a screened filter fitting as per all kits, but we do have a nice inline filter at a great price for those that wish to upgrade. I do like my 5177s, but now I have a better upgrade to go with.

Robert we have had our single solenoid Dry kits out for over a year.I remmber trying to have this same conversation with you a few weeks ago and you were all about the dual solenoids. Its funny to see you change your mind all of a sudden and say that something is better quality than a kit that you have preached non stop.I thought the quality was the same in all these kits. Wow has a paycheck brain washed you.. Where did Robert Go...

Dave
Well, it's no so much a change in heart, but rather the cost difference between a cheap small noid and a heavy duty large noid. The concept of dual noids hasn't changed, and thus the option of still running redundant if wanting to.
