Default deciding on a kit... what would you recommend?

looking to spray a 100 wet shot... depending on how i like it i might go up to a 150 or maybe a little more if i like it even more. a few people told me to look at nitrous direct and their prices arent that bad... any suggestions?

I would check through all the sponsers and see what fills your need. From what I see on this forum just about ALL of them will do or help you ,above and beyond what you would expect!

Take a look at our Sudden Impact kit. Kit comes with custom solenoid brackets, stainless steel jets, jetting is at the rear wheels, and a lifetime warranty & color install manual. On sale to boot too.

Link to the Sudden Impact Kit



Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Matt

Sorry to steal your thread, but I am in the same boat now.

Im looking for something simple as well.. I do not want to spray out of the hole so I would need a "window switch" (I think thats what they call it).. I dont want to spray thrue the shifts either. And I am sure a fuel safety cut off switch is a must to.. PM me a quote. Thanks

Let me know as I am still itchin to hit the 10's before snow hits up here.

Harris Speed Works, There are many kits out there ,and I'm sure they are all good. I was impressed with Matt at HSW and he answered my BaZillion questions.

every person is different as far as a nitrous system is concerned I personally have had a good experience with TNT also My friends swear by NX. Heres something to take into consideration, if you buy a kit, trying buying one maybe from a sponsor that actually post on this site. That way if anything goes wrong or you have a few questions as far as putting the kit on your car or even upgrading that kit. you can ask the question here and they will gladly answer any questions you might have. also remember this the cheapest kit isnt always the best kit but the most expensive kit might not be worth it either. If i had to recommend someone i would say Nitro Dave just cause he is the actuall person who owns the shop and posts the the site.

I'de have to recommend HSW, they have had the best customer service out of any other company that I have ordered parts for my car from. Anything I need nitrous related will be bought from them in the future.

yeah i have heard a lot about hsw and nitro dave.... i hear they are both great to go with. i am not sure exactly what the difference is between the single and dual nozzle?? from what i have read, the single would be best for me since it is mostly a street car and the dual u can spray different shots at different times... am i righ ton this one?

You can get a little bit better distribution with dual nozzles, along with being able to run a larger shot. Some people also like the appearance of 2 nozzles instead of one, so it's also an appearance thing to some guys. If you are going to spray a 150 or smaller shot a single nozzle kit is more then enough.

Thanks,
Matt

I'm very happy with the performance and reliability of my kit but if I had it to do over again I'd get the Brute Force Kit from Matt @ HSW. I just love how nice and clean this one looks and it supports plenty of HP too.

just for those who call harris speed and dont get an answer leave a message because alot of times they are in the shop dynoing/tuning cars and obviously cant hear the phone im sure its nothing personal because i have spent plenty of money with these guys and still have to wait for a call back when they are finished up in the shop. matt usally calls back asap.
