Default Your Source for Nitrous Refills and Accessories

The team here at ICON AUTOSPORTS has noticed that alot of folks are having a hard time finding a place in the Houston and surrounding area that can supply them with the ability to refill nitrous bottles and carry the most common nitrous accessories such as fittings, solenoids, nitrous jets, bottle nuts, and most of all, knowledgeable advice. There have been some "time bombs" of nitrous systems that we have seen come through here over the years that we have corrected, picked up power, and dropped E.T. by applying what we have learned and used over the last 16 years of "squeezin' the button". We have pushed and tested these LSX foundations to the point of destruction at our expense to see where the limit is. Over and over. From being the first ones to go 9.60's in a bone stock shortblock LS1 over 5 years ago to just "shakedown running" a record of 8.50's on a SINGLE stage and holding that record for almost two years. Both with nitrous systems built and installed here in house.

If you are thinking about a nice nitrous system for your vehicle but are scared of the "horror stories" you've heard about, come on by and talk with us and let us show you how a nitrous system can be reliable, user friendly, and most important of all, safe.

Starting FRIDAY NOV. 7 2008 we will be selling premium grade nitrous for $2.75lb as a special price until the racing season ends!!

How much would it cost to get my synchros replaced and lube my t56 with some synthetic that wont destroy the paper blocker rings (the stuff that doesnt attract water)? Might throw a clutch in it while its open.

The stealership was like 2800-4000 lol. Yeah i know it doesnt cost that much. i was hoping around 700 just to replace the synchros because the amount of labor and the parts are cheap.

Those are damn good prices. I have my own personal refill station and I can only cut $2.83!

Send me a pm and I can give you a quote. 2800-4000 is ridiculous but expected from the dealership.

Were only doing that price up until the end of the year. Right now we are barely breaking even and may be losing a little bit of money. We just wanted to get people aware in the area that we are now selling nitrous so come on down and fill up before its too late.

Did you expand the shop?? When I was last there in May or so, there wasn't enough room in there for a 5 lb bottle much less a refill station..

We tore down the wall and took the space next to us, added two more lifts, a nitrous refill center with an abundance of bottles, the chassis dyno pit is under construction as we speak, and are building a new bigger office. So yes! Lol, we are expanding
