SO far I am not happy at all. The testing is still going on, and once I get a better feeling in the tummy I will post up what we have found.
I think NX needs to build these and we will, I may need to tweek the design to acheive the goal. Time will tell.
I can build people nozzle dry kits, but thats it right now.

Ok as of right now, this moment in time, the part is on the back burner. So far testing was less then spectacular, and results "TO ME" are way way off. So I will continue to develope the part and when I get it working properly I will release.
I want to build a dry kit, that works, looks the part, and fits the dry world of nitrous.

Ricky, you should come ride in my new NX hybrid dry kit (stg 6 lighting noids and mucho other NX products). I have run it once and it has produced my best 60'er to date and my best ET so far this year. A/f has been from 10.5 to 11.5 adjusted solely on the nozzles, which are the CF SS 90*'s modified to my needs. This is all on one stage by the way, and another stage (NX based) to come on line next outing, along with a 3rd stage wet, yes I did say wet.
Oh by the way, no nasty lean spikes or other issues plauging this set-up, runs great. I will post pics later (new thread) when details are finished. It's really trick looking, imo, and nothing like anyone else has or runs.
Robert

Man, I was reaaaalllly looking foreward to this. I can understand the need to get it ironed out first though. Please keep us posted if/ when you move forward with it. I have been toying with the idea of selling some modified/ hybrid NOS dry kit derrived versions with NX solenoids and nozzle on my website later on down the road.

I got a photographer in my car club who is going to be doing this shortly. The entire system, front to rear has been re-done. Heading to dyno on Saturday for some numbers, looking in the 550/600rwhp area if everything is a go, and on a bone stock longblock ls6.

For those that haven't seen my other posts. The NX Hybrid Dual Dry has worked spectacularly and flawlessly. I ran my current record time about a weekand 1/2 after the last post above, and only the 3rd run on this set-up, 10.8 on stock longblock(full slip in sig).
Easily reached my 550rwhp goal. Jetted total for 235rwhp, but attained about 210rwhp gain because of running rich (safe). No lean spike at all. Here's a dyno of the hit the day before heading to the drags. The torque peak is from the 1st stage only (about 170rwhp shot), as the second comes on at 4400rpm. (hp may have been higher, however dyno crapped out at 5200rpm and I went all the way to 6500rpm)

I predict, once a new revolutionary dry product hits the market, it may be the final nail in the coffin for the wet hits concerning FI cars that can utilize such.

Ricky, any updates, it's been awhile?
