Please list any issues you've ran to with nitrous. The kit (TNT/NX) that you are using.

I have come to the opinion that chronic nitrous problems are like the boogey man. I was really paranoid when I first started running my nitrous, now I feel very comfortable. It is very common for people to push the nitrous fear on others. I was at Carlisle last weekend and was admiring a really hot nitrous setup when this guy next to me starts saying how he would never put nitrous on any car of his as it kills your engine. He then started taking numerous pics of the nitrous install

On a recent run at the drags I shifted from 3rd to 2nd :eek: instead of 3rd to 4th, needless to say my heart went into my throat and thought sure I roached my engine. Not even a bent pushrod :D

When members of the corvette club I belonged to saw I was putting nitrous in my car at shop night , 90% of them came over and told me all the horror stories they "knew" about nitrous. I just dont believe it anymore. :cheers:

arjls,

Glad to see you're bottle fed and loving it. I can't wait to get my kit installed. I plan on doing it myself, and saving a few bucks to throw at something else.

I've noticed we have very similar setups....2001...torch red...mn6...halltech tric...NX Express...
