Default Daves Plate system vs. NX MAF
which would you recomend for a nitrous newbie? i want something that is very reliable and at the same time gives me my bang for my buck. Aside from the kit i will also be purchasing a purge kit, msd window switch, wot switch, and solenoid bracket. Is there anything im missing? i plan on running a 125-150 wet shot so i dont think ill need to upgrade my fuel system or anything. thanks guys

I would up grade the fuel pump with a 150 why take the chance it just the smarter thing to do.

The NX MAF is a nice piece and makes for a clean install, BUT so does the plate and it will also INCREASE NA horsepower. Id go with the plate...

to keep nitrous pressure up and get the most out of your bottle i would. but if you need to save the money then you could just do the hot water trick everytime you take it out. Just put the bottle under some worm water then watch you gauge rise to about 1000 or so then take it out.

It will be, just get a hotwire kit if you do a Walbro pump. If you want an easier solution take a look at the Racetronix kits.

It'll work. Depending on the year vehice you might have to mod the fuel pump bucket as that pump isn't a direct replacement.
