Yeah, it definitely feels better on the street. I'm not disappointed in any way.

Does the Nano system have a standalone or is it just the plate kit? I looked at their website and saw no standalone. Pricing looks good as well.

The Nano system is only a "piggyback" system for your bottle. It runs in place of a bottle heater. You'd still need to buy your plate kit, lines, relays, and even a bottle.

Going to be looking around for quotes on shortblocks. I want to build something while I have a chance to sell the running LS7 shortblock.

TSP is high on the list.

Nice Jayyyw, the Nano looks killer and those numbers are crazy, saw your video in Mexico today, car runs freaking strong. You can definitely hear the nitrous hit

Thanks man! It's working amazing so far! Little things I have to be aware of but overall, very happy with the system. Thanks again for that.

It's working so well, in fact, I was able to stay in front of that CTS V with very little nitrous left in the bottle, LOL. It went pig rich during that second run, 5th of the night, and was sputtering at the top.

Yes, saw the videos as well. The Hi-Ram allows for a much better Nitrous distribution that is helping with the power!

Car is strong brother, job well done!

My former set up on my C5Z... 746/793
Fully forged 414 stroker (LS2) w a 250 shot...




Loved how the Nitrous felt.. Have been talking to "my guy" about adding it to my C6Z at some point. I currently have too many other projects right now. Your car is awesome!!

Man, that's stout! Looking to rebuild to hit it with a 250 shot. I bet that thing was a handful! If your "guy" is who I think it is, I know he loves dry setups.. *hint* *hint*
