Who is running what Kit Poll
I have a CF dual stage plate I'm gonna be installing so I can run the car at a few different levels of hit as needed to race whatever class (speed index) I want to run in. I got the kit for a good deal, and feel it will work good with the small hits I want to run, but will be putting a DP setup on once I feel the car is working to it's potential, and I get a little braver 
I don't plan to spray anymore then 150 thru this kit, in fear of possible distribution problems... something I fear any non-DP setup will have with hits over 150 hp.
Ya missed speedtech on the list too by the way. The diffuser plate they make for carb intakes is a really good setup, something I would actually like to try someday, with a carb of course.

Kind of pointless really to compare.
All a nitrous kit is,is a bunch of stainless line's,some solenoid's,a bottle,and assorted switches.
A switch is a switch usually,regardless of what it is for it is still just made in taiwan.Most manufacturer's probrably buy from the same people.
Same goes for the solenoid's,they are just electrically operated valve's built for high pressure.You can get these commercially for a good price and rebuild them for your spec's,Most kit's probrably buy them from the same manufacturer also.
The assorted line's and the bottle are pretty much going to be uniform,none really better then the other.
Of course some companies might use obviously cheap and inferior part's,but more than likely they will go down quick.
Most nitrous kit problem's come down to installer error,unless a part goes bad.Even jet sizing is basically universal unless you change fuel density.
A kit is basically just someone charging you about 100$ to put it together and take out the guesswork,and the only thing they probrably are responsible for are giving good customer service.
They are only boxing up some bulk part's into their packaging then warrantying the part for you(hopefully)when/if it break's.
If you know enough about nitrous to use it,you should be able to put together your own kit.Of course some people would rather spend the money for a kit then mess with putting their own together.I can understand that,i don't even have time to mess with my own and if I had the money would gladly pay someone.

I know enough about nitrous.
The above was a statement of my opinion,which is what was being asked in the poll I thought.
If you don't like my opinion,then get off a poll thread asking everyone's opinion.
Now if you would like to inform me of what you believe to be correct,or how I am in error then feel free to make constructive criticism.The only way to learn other than breaking chit is for someone to teach me.I've never broke chit with N20,so I guess you need to teach me.
What do you beleive differently and why?
And for reference,I wasn't talking about the computer controlled setup's and 2 stage or larger setup's.
I was only referencing the simple street wet/dry kit's.
*edit*
Sorry,reread original post and it's not asking opinion.
