DON'T BUY ANY NX NITROUS!!
NX told me sorry,now they say ,they build the solenoids in house.
My Barry Grant I never had a problem with.The engine had a 150 shot on it.
The bottles were on in the staging lanes for about 5 minutes.
I turned the key and wham!
Flames 500 ft in the air ,parts flew for at least an 1/8 mile.
No one hurt but I was full of flame retardent.
Still picking up pieces at the track and that was last May.
My new motor can use a 400 shot.I haven't tried it yet still breaking in the motor.
I may throw a 100 shot on it this summer.
Problem is I have to have a schute and two more pieces of bar in the front.An NHRA license and I already told them ,I have a Hawaiian drivers license.I drive the car on the street about once a mth.

You have to install it. I bought the same kit from Bob, and there is no better feeling when that nitrous hits. The factory jetting on the NS kit is conservative so I would not be overly concerned about leaning out too much as long as your fuel pump is up to par. I haven't even put the 150 shot jets in yet and it dropped my ET's by 1 second and MPH incresed by 11.

High 12 or low 13's.Need a bottle blanket to make sure the temp on the bottle is up so presure does not drop .
