Default Dynotune vs. Coldfusion 'noids?

I am looking at getting new nitrous solenoids, and I want to use either the cold fusion or Dynotune version (175hp) They are both very close in price, The two solenoids appear to be different (of different design). I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on either. I know cold fusion offers a limited lifetime warranty on their noids, and im not sure if dynotune does. Dynotune offers a rebuild kit for 10$, and I havent found one for cold fusion yet...

anyway, let the opinions roll in!

I have run both. Currently I use the CF as my purge for my dry stages, and also one as my main wet stage noid. They are great and work well and I have had zero issues. The CF purge noid has replaced two noids from two other companies that have failed a total of 3-times.

I'm pretty particular to NX stuff - lifetime warrantee & the prettiest damn noids on the market (Lightning series). They are pricier, but you could find lightly used noids for the same price as new CF or Dynotune noids, plus you get the benefit of having aesthetically pleasing solenoids.

Since they aren't on the list, I'd say it's a toss up between CF and Dynotune. Like skatinjay said, it all comes down to who has what noids and how many of those people are voting.

i run dynotune stuff and couldnt be happier, let me put it this way, i got a call at 8pm on friday night to take orders on a few nitrous pills after leaving a message, that in itself should speak volumes about their customer service

i am sort of new to nitrous and went with dynotune. first of just let me say they have the best customer service out of and magazine, company, etc.. that i have dealt with. They call you back even if you have a stupid question. I am sure cold fusion is a great company but ill stick with dynotune...plus a 10 dollar rebuild kit man, i mean you can rebuild you solenoids every season for 20 bucks (unless you have a 2 stage)

I definately second dynotune. Dean and the guys at dynotune are EXCELLENT! I had a zex kit and wanted to upgrade, they treated me great and decided what I needed was the ls1 wet kit minus the wot switch main feedline and bottle. And they sent me my package and it was missing the solenoid an lines. I called they overnighted it to me like the next day. I also have a buddy who uses cold fusion and loves it as well, both hit great. And cant beat either one of them. Especially for the price!

Thanks for the good words guys - it is much appreciated!

Our 175 HP nitrous solonoids are by far our most popular and hold up extremely well. Our new 175HP fuel solonoid contains a special plunger material that to date has worked with all types of fuels.

Yes we offer a rebuild kit for $10.00. 95+% of solonoid failures are due to contaiminants getting onto the plunger. It is so nice to be able to open the solonoid swap the plunger and be up and running in less than 5 minutes compared to removing the solonoid, shipping it back to the manufacturer waiting for it to come back and.....

Thanks again guys!

Ive used coldfusion before, and as I believe Ive heard that most solenoids are made by the same manufacturer just different labels!!!!!!

Could be wrong... Just thought I heard that somewhere!!

A basic truth. But, each company will specify specs to their needs.

All my buddies that run basic small shot nitrous kits use dynotune, it works great and customer service is the best!!! There was a GTO with a cold fusion plate kit, he went 11.60 et on an auto with the only other mod being magnaflow exhaust.(nitto drags)
