Best Nitrous kit and price??

What would be the best nitrous kit for an 01 truck that is running consistant 12.8's and is driven 10,000 miles a year and taken to the track once a month or so. I would like a complete kit (all components) and a clean looking installation and decent instructions and the R&D done so it is sorted out.

You'll see step by step installation and the cleanest
most simple system out there for under $600.00

It took 7-8 tenths off my best ET's first time out
Went from consistant 12.8's and 12.7's,
Immediatly to (2)12.0's w/65HP jets

So the slicks, traction bars ans T/B and that P.B. had nothing to do with it.

What would your setup run without the slicks?

Unfortunatly No they truly didn't V
but thats because I have a differant gas tune now and the timing needs to be higher. My last yr numbers without any of these mods was 12.8 on F-1's. Now after all that, at Cecil when I ran and the juice didn't work I did 12.8, then at my track the week later a 12.7. So with all that money spend it did nothing so far on ALL GAS runs due to too low of timing, thats why I was soooooo pissed when I had to give up my old programs, they were awesome, I was tuned perfect to it after almost a yr of trial and error. My guess is I gained 2-3 tenths with the new mods minus juice, but I won't see it til I add the timing back.

But I still won't change my current Gas program til I get some juice runs in the juice program and see what happens. Right now the Gas program is being used for Nitrous runs so I need it.

I was told that Ford switches suppliers for their rods for 01, and that they are weaker then the 99-00 rods. Not sure, but I believe the 02's are the same as 01's, and I remember Jim from JDM saying that the rods on the 03's were a different metal and appeared to be beefier (?)

I have no idea if this info is ligit. It is what I heard, and from seeing the power the 99-00 are making w/o breaking rods.....its obvious there is a difference.

I have a 2001 and I use an NX kit. It is the Ford EFI kit and it is simple to install.

I think Rob's truck tells the story that there's no problem with the strength of the '02 rods.

I drive around with an 8# lower pulley and have lots of 1/4 mile passes with it (also a lot of 11 second passes . ) and 22,000 daily driven miles and have had no problem with my 01 rods.
