New Nitrous Kit
I have had MANY Vettes and will be getting another as soon as I have the $$$. For now I have been playing around with a GTS Viper.
I thought you guys would like to see the new Nitrous Kit I have. VERY cool stuff. Billet components.
Here is part of my post from another forum.
After installing headers/exhaust and half shafts we rolled the car back onto the big drum and put down three back to back runs, getting higher #s each time. Ended the third run with 441rwhp/482rwtq
Im thinking after driving around a week or so and then heading back to the dyno would result in a little bit more.
The car has smooth tubes/filters and headers/exhaust no cats.
Then we opened the bottles. The jetting on these kits is kind of wierd, but with the middle power level I put down 557rwhp/722rwtq with a/f ranging from 10.1 - 11.1.
I went up one hundredth of a milimeter in jet size on fuel and N20 solenoid (approx 20hp) higher and put down 560rwhp/750rwtq BUT the a/f dumped and was WAY fat! I did not have time to mess with the jetting but will tune it in later.

Re: New Nitrous Kit (LuvmyC5)
Thanks,
I am really impressed with this kit. A buddy has another brand and made WAY less torque with similar hp.
Im going to dyno again after breaking in a new clutch. Stock one went bye-bye at the dragstrip. Guess the stock clutch did not like 5000rpm launch on the bottle :)
I will go up in jets on the Dyno and see how it does.
If anyone is considering Nitrous this kit is something to look into. I think you can even get just the solenoids to use with an existing kit.
Not gaining anything, just wanted to pass on the good results.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: New Nitrous Kit (jason427)
I think their base kits with one bottle are around $700. or so.
Check out racetested.com.
I think with the dual bottles and billet brackets, every little custom fitting I used, total I have about $1800. in the kit.
Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason,
The Racetested components are very nice looking indeed and compliment your car as well. The most important aspect of this system, other than looking good, is the fact this system works well. Very well. On the other hand, the only fault I see with the system is the lack of a bottle heater. Congrats on your numbers, Jason!
