Default Good price for NOS 5177?

Is $515 a good price for this kit? NOS-05177-NBNOS

Would I have to buy anything else?
Is a bottle heater necessary in So. California?
Thanks

Good price. You'll need a window switch. turns n2o on/off at set rpms. This will save your motor from possible destruction.

I'm not using a bottle heater. 80% of the time you'll most likely be more concerned about high bottle pressure from the heat than low bottle pressure.

Wait a second.......isn't the 5177-NBNOS a "No Bottle" kit????

If so, that seems VERY HIGH. You'll pay at least another $150 for the bottle. I paid $569 for mine WITH the bottle.

Jim.....try these guys....they're local in SoCal and GREAT guys to work with. I go there at least every other month to get my bottles filled.

Heck.....I could even pick it up for you and deliver it to the dyno to save you on shipping!

[EDIT] Yeah, Jim.....I just double checked your link and followed it to the full kit description, that is NO BOTTLE AND NO BRACKETS......hence a BAD deal.

Nitrous supply has the COMPLETE kit for $556.27......a MUCH better deal.

Thanks for catching the bottle/no bottle thing. Also, don't know if you know, NX has a fire and ice bottle heater/cooler. They claim it will keep bottle within 5psi of set pressure whether high (hot) or low (cold). I think I am going to try it, as it will make for more consistant 1/4 runs.

No.....I didn't know that. That would be great.....I sometimes go as high as 1300 psi in the summertime here.....

You don't have a link do you? I'll be searching in the meantime......

[EDIT]

Found it....

Spendy......but if it works that would be great! Hmmm.......
