just installed NX nitrous-awesome!!
just finished my install of the NX wet system. started out right away wiht the 150HP jets...holy crap!!! car is crazy!! i opted for the 15lb bottle that i mounted just behind the pass seat. looks great. even with the 15lb bottle i went through a bottle in a weekend. the only thing i am kicking myself for is having waited so long for it. the car goes from 0-100 in about 6 seconds, or something close. i drove around town all weekend racing people, kicking serious a s s. i never got to race anything worthy except another C5. i beat him so so bad; we raced from about 40mph and within 5 seconds i was about 10 cars ahead. then we finally paired up at a light, took of at green and within 10 seconds i was about 20 lengths ahead. i pulled into a convenient store (my destination). he finally caught up, and stopped to talk. needless to say, his next purchase is nitrous!! i'll be taking it to the drag track this friday. my best without nitrous is 12.68. i'll post results afterwards!! :smash:

It sounds awesome, I can't wait to see it. I assume you will be going to the Woodburn street legals this Friday? Two weeks ago I managed to get in 20 runs! :eek:
I'll be there in the red C5 with NM plates!

A complete NX package with all the safety and convenience items is right around $1200. This would be the exact same system I have on my car.

Perhaps 75 125 175+ shots in 3 stages bases on RPM
would that be hard on a stock botton end with stock pistons?

Re: just installed NX nitrous-awesome!! (Mag Red Monster)
i spent $1200 total. i bought everything: Stage 1 kit, auto bottle opener, auto bottle heater, MSD Window Switch, all the other safety sensing stuff...takes a long while to install it. especially if you're as **** as i am about perfection and details. i spent much time engineering and wiring, etc,. the system is awesome. just coming to work i was on the freeway doing around 75 when a Porsche pulled alongside, i punched it and was doing 130 in about 5 seconds (for real).
