Nitrous kit GP anyone ?
I'm looking to get a kit in the next month and was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a group purchase? I'm thinking the NX kit but open to others at a good price. Any thoughts or interest ?

Re: Nitrous kit GP anyone ? (BOBA VETT)
If you are serious, give me a call at 630-820-7400 and will get you the best price possible. Our shop name is The VetteWrench and we are a supporting tuner for the Corvette Forum.
To make things a bit easier, we can try to work out a package deal for everyone (bottle heater, bottle opener, etc...). Also, we can do a TNT system GP if everyone would like to go that route.
Just ask for Tim.

What kind of deal can you get us on the TNT system? Like maybe the F-2001-10. Also interested in price for the electric nitrous pressure gauge.

If you guys are still interested, and can get 5 orders together, I can do the basic NX kit for $500.
If all of you can decide on what you guys would like, I can work up a package deal, like bottle heater, purge kit, remote opener, etc....
Feel free to drop me an e-mail, IM me or give me a ring.

TNT scares me a little bit. From what I've seen in the past you get way more results than their jets are rated for. I could be completely wrong, but thats what I've seen. Almost like the labels on the jets are off by one.

Re: Nitrous kit GP anyone ? (x_streme)
Scorp, I've SEEN a TNT car on the Dyno (my partners Vette) shoot a 125 shot. It actually came out to a 140 shot. I don't like the idea of thinking I have one thing and actually having more then I expected/wanted.
I'm not concerned with different motors because, the NX kit is the same for the L98 and LT1. If you have something else, please say something in advance and I'll make sure the price is the same.
As far as the TNT price, the folks at TNT never returned my calls yesterday. I'll try again today.

Re: (scorp508)
Yeah the kits are rated from one extreme to the other...TNT is high, others are low....No happy medium, but I would rather be low and then tune up to get what I really wanted instead of destroying it on the first shot.....

Now, about the jetting issue people have seen. I'm going to make some calls tomorrow and see if using NX jets would give a more accurate HP rating.
I'm guessing most people will want to go the NX route due to the price difference.
Let me know what you guys think so I can focus my efforts in the right direction. Thanks guys.

Re: Nitrous kit GP anyone ? (BubbleHead)
I just ordered the NX kit from NitrousWarehouse.com last night, it ran about $485 then with 15#bottle upgrade, the GenX III kit, and shipping it totaled out to around $950, I don't remember the exact number. Just some food for thought...

Re: Nitrous kit GP anyone ? (mn_vette)
That's much better then what I can do. Sounds like a GP doesn't need to be started.
I say go to Nitrous Warehouse, that's a great price and I can't touch it.
