Can a 3.8 get some love ? I have been doing research the past few days on nitrous for my car (98 3.8 v6 5spd). I have heard that dry nitrous is the most user friendly (for people who have not messed with nitrous before) for our cars. All i am looking to run is at first a 50 shot and then moving to the most a 75-100 shot. Ok i know i need a dry nitrous kit, along with that I was also going to get a window switch and a full throttle switch too be extra safe. What are some brands that you have had good experiance with ?
Here is a kit i have been bidding on...

Is that kit complete ? I am wondering is that all i will have to purchase besides a window switch and a full throttle switch ?

A wet or a dry kit will work for you. Off hand I do not know the size of the injectors on the V6s, but you should be okay with a 50 shot. If you are planning on doing a 100 shot look into the size of you injectors before doing so, or if you do a wet kit it wouldn’t be an issue. WOT switches usually come with nitrous kits, but with it being a used kit it might not. A window switch is a very good idea and a new one can usually be had for around $125. Just a FYI, we do have new dry kits that have a warranty for $309. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Matt

Dynotune always is on top of some of the newest coolest ****, so they are up there.
As far as Cold Fusion goes, I can tell by your join date that you don't know about all the **** that Nitrous Mike from CFN stirred up enough **** to either just give up his sponsorship, get asked to leave or he may even have banned. Instead of trying to make better stuff, Mike just decided to pass along misinformation & make everyone's stuff look cheap to make his crap look better.
As far as Harris Speed Works goes, I have had no real dealings with them & don't know who's stuff they push.
I'm sure that other people will have different opinions on who's better than the one's that I've picked, but since you are a fairly Newbie, please sit back & read before deciding who makes the best kit, they are all good in their own ways.
In my heart I still believe that NX has the best noid's & customer service.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Nitrous Outlet inhouse brand, I do believe that Daves Quailty is up there with NX's because from what I remember he's mainly using NX parts to put together his custom Nitrous Outlet kits, to me they seem like NX quality kits specifically made for us LSx people. I've installed 3 of his Halo ring kits & everyone's loved them.

NOS also has at least as good or better reputation than most of the other brands you mention. People really dog NOS pretty good on this board, but their 5177 kit is at least #3 in popularity after the NX & T&T kit, maybe even more popular than being #3.

Where did you install the wet nozzle on the 3.8l? The reason I ask is the 3.8 I worked on at one point had the MAF as part of the TB so spraying in front of it wasn't an option and drilling the intake manifold was not a great option since the runners started right behind the TB.
Thanks in advance,

I had the nozzle in the whisper lid.. I sprayed for almost 3 years on that car.. never had a problem with the Mas Air.. The 3.8 is a very strong motor and can be made to be a 12 second car easily.. There are a bunch of guys and girls over at firebirdv6.com putting down 450 plus hp with a turbo kit on a stock motor 3.8.. I own a LS1 now.. my mods are Mac mids, SLP loudmouth 2, lid, mas air, bellows, and slp ram air thing from underneath.. My buddies 96 3.8 camaro with exaust, intake and a 100 shot we are dead even.. everytime I run him on the bottle.. His car makes 307rwhp and 344 rwtq.. His car also weighs 2-300 lbs less then my WS6.. Never the less very good motors.. I will never flame on a 3.8 cause I know what they are capable of..
