Default Nitrous anyone
Seems like nitrous would be a good way to go, has any one done this and how much would it cost....maybe a cheaper thrill

Nice! How much for something like that. I'm about to order my C7 NX kit along with the dual bottle setup and progressive controller.

Because not everyone wants power for an extremely short period of time.

I’m interested to hear the good and the bad of putting nitrous in the C7. I heard that the new systems are pretty safe, but that came from vendors and been new on the subject I don’t want to make an investment that will not get any benefits…

We have done multiple nitrous installs on c7 corvettes. We have used the NX plate system in just about every setup. All have been installed using the NX MAX4 progressive controller. This setup was also used to power the worlds first 9 second c7. Please let me know if you have any more questions about a nitrous install for your car.

Thanks, Reid
I hear that you have to replace the factory fuel pump. Is that correct?
Thanks:

No replacement of fuel pump is necessary. Just install the kit, tune it, and enjoy it!

For those more cautious, I’d comment that someone as knowledgeable as John Lingenfelter when asked about nitrous said he didn’t like it, too much potential for damage if things didn’t work right. Don
