i ran this kit last year, it performed great.
the only issue i had was if the injectors where not lined up perfect it would idle like ****.

i was also not a fan of the plastic lines, however i never had an issue with them, so i guess they work fine.

i did sell the kit, but it was a good kit.
i still have a buddies car i did running this kit, and we will be sticking with it, i have all the tricks all taken care of, and it works well.

I have a NOSzle kit on my car, that is based on pro race fogger and converted to NOSzles. The lines (Pro Race Fogger hard lines) were prebent for the NOSzles, so I didn't have to deal with that, but in regard to changing jets, I rather like the location of the NOSzles as it's easy to get to, vs. some of the traditional nozzle style direct ports I've seen.

I'm looking forward to seeing it's performance on my new engine setup, but on a design and installation standpoint I'm very happy with my "hybrid" setup.

The plastic lines could be swapped out for Braided, that would be a big bonus. And the spacing of the jet holders is not ideal. Sorry, but NXL and CF bungs have their spacing spread out some more and angle so its easier to do jet changes. That and the price is a little much, compared to other DP's I guess the ease of installation counters the price.

my biggest problem with the kit were the fittings for the distibution block. maybe it was just me but it seemed like a PITA to thread seal all of the nos fittings then the gas part on the same block and same side. one thing i would keep in mind though is the bracket that you mount the noids to. if you could have a place where you could route the wires so it looks like a cleaner setup along with some brackets that will hold the plastic lines together (instead of using zip ties).....something like what people use for plug wire...know what i mean? like a section for 8 lines (four top four bottom) then have it split and have two more (one for a pair of nozzels) for four lines (two top two bottom)....other than that i liked the kit. and didnt have a problem with anything else.

oh and i found the jets are kinda a pain to change but im going to assume thats with every direct port kit

I've ran the kit. No real complaints here seemed to work flawlessly for my application. The only thing that I didn't like were the plastic lines which I switched to bent lines instead and the price was a little high.

Got my car into the 9.70 range on the 2nd or 3rd outing with the car about 2 seasons ago with it - one of the first small cube motors to really haul the mail with it.

It's OK at best. You can convert the lines over to stainless and change whatever else you want, but you are still stuck with the nozzles that come with the kit. They are proven to restrict injector flow on bigger injectors. I guess NOS has since come out with a revised dry nozzle with a larger orfice and I don't know how it really works.

Good luck.

I love how people are saying they are OK, call the shop and talk to Ken the owner he has worked with the car mentioned above and was one of the first to run these kits and the first to go 8s with this NoSzLe System with his shop race car a few years ago, Ken knows this system inside and out

I'm running a Cold Fusion/ Nitrous Direct 'Pro' setup with braided lines. My only problem was lack of room from the 'mock-up' to install on my car. The 3 Point STB is a bitch to clear.

hmmmmmmmmm..........hope you aren't referring to my car.

I used ESP's help for a while, then ESP and I parted ways. Wasn't on the best of terms, but thats so long ago I really don't care too much about it at this point. No offense, but all ESP did was help me go through head gaskets and cause me to spend time on things I thought I had paid to have done right.

I just wish I would have gotten with W2W and TEA a little earlier in my hobby. I couldn't ask for 2 better companies to help me obtain my goals with the ls1 motor.

If anybody wants to know one of my secrets:

Brain Tooley at TEA gave me the info I needed to make the car fast. Switched to his tune ups (plug, fuel, timing tables, nitrous tunes, etc) and the car gained over a half a second, and was more reliable after making some changes to our engine combo.

I guess that's why TEA has a more than a few nitrous champions out there in the Mustang world. We're tuning my W2W/TEA engine combo in a few weeks.......I'm sure it isn't going to disappoint - not bad for another home built car (lets just see if it holds together )

I would have to agree with Conrad, the first nitrous system I was going to put on my car was a Nozzle kit. But with needing to split the fuel rail in the middle so the fuel rail could go forward on the one side and rearward on the other, turned me off from it, it was NOT a Nozzle kit made for a LS1, I just had the Nozzle's, lines, selenoids, etc.

I would build a kit similar to what I went fast with which was the TNT power ring, we went 9.80's pretty easy and then picked the car up almost another 100 RWHP after that, all with just the standard F2 power ring kit. Of course the "tune up" was a little trick

Being a long time NOS fan, it's good to see you guys on board. You guys have been loosing ground on this site for years. There would be more people using your products if you had some techs that actually participated in threads and promoted NOS products. I hope this is a sign of future dealings, and that we may see more NOS support. After all, this is the biggest/best nitrous site on the web. Good luck and I hope you get the input your looking for.
