Default help chosing wet kit

ok I am starting to research the wet kit as I will be getting one this winter. I know there are several sponsors on here that have their own kits. why are they cheaper than say nx or nos? I like the low budget idea, but then I don't want a cheap product. any help is appreciated.

Eric

Plate kit refers to the way the nitrous is injected....with the HSW plate kit, it is a perimeter style (meaning that its sprays all the way around the perimeter if the plate) throttle body plate. It is a bit more efficient at distributing evenly than spraying through a single hole, such as a nozzle or a regular throttle body plate....

On another note, don't let the prices fool you, all the sponsors who sell their own nitrous compbents on here sell top quality products and offer unbeatable customer service.

that was my next question. since the sponsors are smaller co. what happens if something goes wrong with a noid or something and it needs rebuilt. for example....if I had the HSW kit and they went out of business, are other noids or parts interchangable? Don't know if that makes sense or not.

Check out the sale we have going on, great opportunity to start running our plate at a great price. As tarzan noted, we have the only full 360 degree perimeter plate on the market. More then likely it wont result in added horsepower but simply a much more efficient distribution to the intake. with a stock TB and intake you would be running the 78mm. if you wanted to upgrade to the FAST 90/90 then you would want the 90mm. You DEFINITLY cant go wrong with any of the nitrous vendors on this forum, so feel confident that you came to the right place. if you have any questions feel free to PM me or give us a call.

I just not a Nos plate kit on and my car went from 10.5's n/a to a 9.77 on a 100 shot and 9.61 on a 150 and the 60 fot was worse with the 150 then it was with the 100 (spinning)

Kit's ultra simple, jetting was dead on that was sent with it, easy to install and the results were awesome. I pulled every plug after every run, and they all read the same, so the kit distributes alot better then I thought it was going to.

Keep in mind, one company in the US makes over 90% of all the solenoids for the nitrous industry.
