Can't really go wrong with either one. Both make good products and both have good customer support. Just talk to both of them and see what they have to offer.

However, I do enjoy my HSW kit and Matt has been nothing but fantastic to deal with. He always responds to my PMs within a day, regardless of how dumb they are.

Hmmm.... how about mix n match? HSW kit with Dynotune Bottle heater and gauge kit..best of both worlds. Matt is a good guy and so is Dean.

I am with Redline and Cat, I have parts from both Dean/Dan (DynoTune) and Matt (HSW). Can't go wrong with either of those choices.

Why choose Dynotune let me try to help. We supply 1/8" NPT fittings on our lines going into the solonoids making for a cleaner install and no need for additional fittings.

Our fuel solonoids are the only ones on the market that offer a plunger seal resistant to the ethanols and detergents present in many fuels. Additives seem to be on the rise from fuel companies. Without this special material your fuel solonoid plunger is prone to swell causing potential catastrophic results. I am told NX has this feature in there solonoids as well now though I cannot confirm this.

Another aspect is performance - this post sums that up very well. http://centralfloridastreetcars.com/nozzleshootout.html.

You are buying from a company just entering its 7th year in business who stands behind all their products 100%.

If we can help just let us know! Whatever direction you choose you will love nitrous - it is addicting!

Actually Dean, most if not all of the solenoid manufactures made the switch back in the summer, so just about all of the kits out there are resistant to the added detergents/ethanol.

Some other benefits of the HSW kits, lifetime warranty on the kits, RWHP jetting (jets are stainless steel too, no cheap brass), full color install manual, all kits are complete, nothing else is needed to get your install done, heat shrink electrical connectors, relay, fuses and the list goes on!

Thats news to us Matt, Maybe you should relay that info to the solonoid manuafacturers also as it will be news to them.

Brass must be cheap - Is that why we and NX have the best performing kits on the market and both use brass? And please let us know where we can buy brass cheap these days?

Differences in drivetrains will yield differences in RWHP. That is why we provide crank HP jetting. We do have some customers that ask for rwhp jetting and we supply that.

We also back our nitrous kits 100% but due to the quality of our solonoids we do not exclude the solonoid coil from our warranty against manufacturers defects.

No offense intended just offering some facts.

Happy holidays to you and your family and we wish you luck in 2007!

Regards,
Dean

Just to let everyone know, I'm an idiot and I installed my HSW wet kit today. I just have to fill my bottle and run the main nitrous feed line (I'm lazy and didnt want to get dirty before I watched football). Matt was very helpful and I would suggest HSW products to everyone. Plus, $334 for a wet kit, come on!

P&P made the switch back in the summer when ethanol was added across the US, if the solenoids that Dyno Tune uses recently made the switch I don't know what to say...

Brass is not the most desirable of materials out there, and true it has sky rocketed in the past few months, but I'll take SS or anodized Aluminum over it any day, just from an appearance stand point at the very least...

As far as warranty I've never come across a defective solenoid coil from the factory. Only way I've ever seen a coil melt is from a bad ground, and I can't cover a solenoid cover if it was misused/not installed correctly. We still offer a lifetime warranty on our kits, it's nice to see that Dynotune is now offering a warranty on their solenoids,:

As far as saying best performing, that's a bit subjective. If a kit is rated RWHP and is running a jet size for a 125 shot and makes that power at the rear wheels how is it performing any less?

HSW offers a 100% money back guarantee, if you don't think our kit is a quality kit send it back for a full refund. To date we've never received a kit back.

Got to say i love my tnt f1 ring kit. It looks badass and correct me if im wrong, but its the only kit rating at the wheels. I put down 170hp at 1100psi on the 150 jets safely. Only down side is fitting the lid on with the ring. Hope this helps.

That's a marketing ploy, suppling 170hp jets and calling it 150hp. Works though to the unsuspecting. If you get 170rwhp, then it's jetted for 170rwhp, period. Not busting your ***** just clarifing for those reading along that might think, Oh god, TNT makes more power than the other kits.
Maybe I'll come out with a kit and say it's 100hp jetting, but slip in 200hp jets and have the most powerfull 100hp kit on the market, see where I am going?

What is purple? It fits great and looks great. Along with great customer service you cant go wrong. Stage 1 kit will support 250rwhp, thats not bad either.

Dynotune is the only way to go. I'm a fairly new customer of theirs but over the past two years I have been emailing them with all my questions and eventhough I didn't send them a penny for two years they still took the time to answer every single one of my questions. Then I recieved the kit, WOW. Cheaper than pretty much everyone but the quality was second to none.
