Default not flowing enough?

I was hanging out with a buddy of mine yesterday and he brought up how his dry shot selenoid can only flow so much and I was thinking, he pointed out my nitrous selenoid is very small compared to others. Its the one that came in the NX EFI Hitman kit. They only included I believe 50 and 75 jets in the kit, I'm spraying a 150 through it, do you think it is keeping up or probably cant flow that much? The fuel one seems to be sufficient size. The car seems to be alot faster but didnt seem to be a big difference at all between the 100 shot and 150 shot, maybe it just cant flow more nitrous?

Thanks

Most of the smaller solenoids I have seen will be between .72-.82 orifices which should be enough for 175-200hp. Now even though you may not be maxing out your current solenoid you may see more power from a larger one due to the larger one haveing less pressure drop across it.

The Nitrous solenoid in the Hitman EFI is a 063 orfice. 150 would be a MAX.. MAX flow for that solenoid. Not the best size for going 150 or above. I would upgrade to the Iceman.
