  • Why buy a kit?

    Why not make your own nitrous setup, buy a bottle, a solenoid, jets, and a nozzel? Then just use HPtuners to richen the mixture at 90%+ throttle.

    I'm thinking along the lines of a 50 shot at the drag strip only. I'll also have a dash mounted Wideband.

        Now you can use HP Tuners to run your window switch and shift light. If you already have HP Tuners, that can save you $100-$200 on a NO setup.

        For those that do not know what I am talking about, HP Tuners now comes with 4 inputs and two outputs. The outputs could run the window switch and shift light.

          I paid $35 for a window switch...

          I guess I coudl buy a $500 program, then buy a $300-400 laptop to run the program in my car.


          I understand HPtuners will do a little bit more but for now... I am not ready to fork up the money for it...


          psst... he Arthansen, any chance you know if your HpTuners woudl work on my car, to recalibrate if I do a gear swap?

                    NEVER cut corners with nitrous. When you do that you increase your chances of things breaking
