Nitrous finally installed!
Hey Guys,

So I just got my nitrous installed and I'm in love. It's incredibly fast and the installation was done perfectly. I don't normally do this but I wanted to really recognize Alex and Max RPM Motorsports for their work here. It was my first experience with them but they take the time to make sure it's done correctly -they cut no corners. My installation (in my opinion) looks like it came this way from the factory.
Not only that but Alex made time for me on a Saturday when they weren't open and he and Lee spent the entire day doing this. I also didn't get a purge plug from Dynotune so they custom fabricated something which looks great.
Very honest guy and top quality work.
They are in Bremerton which I thought would be quite a commute, but really it was only about a 40 minute drive. I also took the Ferry from Seattle over one of the times we went over and they are literally a few minutes from the Bremerton terminal.
When I come across quality work and honest people (especially in this industry) I go out of my way to recognize them for it as I find it rare.
If you have any work that needs to be done, they work on everything.

Austin, thanks for the post! 
I have thought about getting on the bottle myself but I don’t know squat about doing something like that myself so knowing local resource is helpful to have on file. I was wondering if there was a reputable shop in the South Hill area where I live… hhhmm
So what was the final RWHP increase? I was thinkin’ a bone stock C5 was around 290 RWHP… and the vid looks like it recorded 320… am I reading it correctly as a 30 RWHP increase on the nitrous shot?
Have you had enough dry weather in your neighborhood to test her out in her native habitat?
Oh yah, what is that little brass dealio at the base of the windshield?

I'm writing this from our hotel after a very busy day in Disneyland. It's gorgeous down here, I'll try and bring the weather back for you guys. We catch our royal Caribbean ship tomorrow, then it's off to the Mexican riveria.
I dyno'd 299 HP and 320 tq stock. With a vararam I put down 320hp/324tq.
On the bottle it's putting down 407hp/420tq.
You'll note there were two sets of numbers in the dyno chart. Thats because we wanted a non-nitrous baseline run to compare against.
The brass thing is where it purges
I have had a chance to test it in the dry. I haven't goofed off with it many times but she pulls very hard.
