Re: Which nitrous...............? (gettin-aC5)
I just got the TNT kit and I am having VetteWrench install. Since we are neighbors you can come check it out after I get it back if you would like.
I got mine from SpeedDemon because he was having a big sale.
The thing I like about the TNT kit is the Power ring.

Re: Which nitrous...............? (gettin-aC5)
NX Express makes some great Nitrous kits for the C5. NX can set you up with complete kit. Bottle opener, Heater, switch plates that fit in ash tray.
You may want to avoid kits that mount solenoids right smack in the middle of your engine heat. Such as power ring kits. Solenoid failure is your main concern with N20 kits. Constant heating and cooling of solenoids can cause solenoid damage over the long term.
Nitrous is nitrous only way for one kit, to out perform other kit is to add more nitrous.
Get bids from forum vendors.

TNT http://www.nitrous-power.com/ makes the best kit for the ls1, it is far better in workmanship, quality of materials, it looks bad as*, the technology behind the power ring makes it more efficient at spraying, and IT MAKES MORE POWER.
TNT "run one or follow one" :smash: :smash: :smash:

Please explain how TNT power ring makes more power? If you buy 100 H.P. TNT kit, do you get 100 H.P. from TNT kit?
Only way to get more H.P. from any nitrous kit, is to increase amount of nitrous.
Also who makes solenoids for TNT kits? I think you will find most nitrous kits use same manufacture for their solenoids?

Skeeter, you are absolutely 100% WRONG!
Yes, TNT makes a great kit! So does NX!

Re: Which nitrous...............? (Speed-Racer)
I went with the TNT wet kit. The bottle looks very sweet (shiny black and bad azz) and the quality is really nice. I'm gonna go with with NX bottle warmer though. It adjust temp based on bottle pressure, which the better way to go.
It all goes in on Monday, I'll post my thoughts after I try it out! :yesnod:

Re: Which nitrous...............? (Skeeter1)
If a N20 kit puts out 110 rwhp, then it is a 110 rwhp jet, Just cuz one kit makes more power than another, doesnt mean its more efficient. The only way to make more power is to make a bigger jet, in other words, TNT prolly makes their jet 110-115 rwhp, and claims it as 100rwhp to make you feel good. Kinda like the vette at 350 hp as opposed to the z28 at 325. Just makes you feel better, when actually its the same damn motor

Re: Which nitrous...............? (shftn6)
The TNT kits are great! We always have the TNT kits in stock and we also install them.
Give me a ring or shoot me an email. I would be happy to help you out.
We also stock NX kits and accessories.
I would suggest adding a Bottle warmer, fuel pressure safety switch, and a remote bottle opener also.
Let me know if I can help.
Thanks,

Great pictures :cool:
You need to rotate your N20 bottle, about 30 degree angle like in my picture. To take advantage of bottle siphon tube during acceleration.

Re: Which nitrous...............? (intel55)
Thanks for the compliment on the car! I can't wait to get it back from the work I am having done. I just hope I have made all the right choices.
It should be a good mix of a very strong runner and show car when finished.
