Default the *definitive* complete nitrous kit/solution?

i have been following nitrous discussions, and doing research on nitrous kits for a while now, but have not yet taken the plunge. there are simply too many opinions (ex. wet vs dry), too much info, and i'm not a rocket scientist. so .... i would love to see "the definitive guide to c5 nitrous kits". i want to see a list of recommended parts, with prices, part numbers, and recommended places to go buy the kits. if necessary, i want to see reasons/justifications for having certain parts. since nitrous is billed as the poor man's power adder, i want a kit that is not going to cost an arm and a leg - let's keep it reasonable and affordable. some "optional items" like bottle opener and purge kit are necessary based on what i am looking for. but, i don't need to to have the super-duper $5000 nitrous setup with a triple purge system that blows nitrous out my nostrils, ears, and butt.

with that said, please post info about "the definitive guide to c5 nitrous applications"!

vendors - please feel free to post info about your recommendations.

thanks in advance!@#$

IMO

Call James or Tony at TNT.
TNT F1 kit (75-150) wet kit
NX bottle heater
TPS switch
MSD window switch

That is all you really need. K.I.S.S.

To get fancy and $$$$ you would get the purge kit, the NOS controller or the NX FRED. You could also get a direct port kit :D :D Of course to justify running one you would need a built rotating assembly and valetrain. :cheers:

Unless you want to spend time tweaking with Laptops, autotap and an MAFT get any of the NX or TNT wet kits.
For accessories, must haves:
window switch
bottle heater
remote opener
nitrous filter(comes w/most kits)
NGK TR-6's gapped properly
TPS WOT Switch
