Default Anyone using NX lightning Solenoids?

I'm considering going to the NX Lightning solenoids, wanted to know what anyone had to say about them, good or bad?

Is there an LS1 bracket you can buy for them?

Are they rebuildable?

What size are the inlet and outlets, and can I plug one of the outlets off it there are 2 outlets?

Got any pics?

Thanks.

great noids, maybe the best on the market? here's mine, mounted off the pass head on homemade custom SS bracket. I have them as bottom feed and purge out the side. Purges through the noid rather than up tp noid. forget the orifices but they support big shots. More pics in web site.

I don't like em. We had a couple fail early maybe they have fixed those issues. I like the big old NX noids they never failed for us. I run proflow noids look identical to the old NX's and for the cars we have done recently the old style nx noids you can get from ntro dave's i don't think they have the nx logo anymore but they work pimp!

Just never liked the idea if a lighter noid LOL

The iceman series lightnings are great. I have seen no issues with them. We also offer a all in one solenoid bracket for them that mounts to the passenger side head.

I have a nice set of black ones that have been in my garage for over a year now. One day they will end up on the car, I'm just a slacker
