Well...if you decide to purchse:

-FORD EFI NX KIT
-with 15 lb. bottle upgrade
-Pressure activated bottle heater (maintains between 900-1050)
-purge kit
-bottle pressure guage
-remote bottle opener (on order)

You'll be looking at close to 1K for all thats listed above. But yet for 1 thousand dollars (less than convertor and install) you could have up to 100 more ponies

Or so I hope.....

Killa:

You can do the install...

I've only run with the nitrous one day at the track. -.7 was my best reduction.

With better technique and traction, -1.0 should be obtainable.

BTW, purging is fun!

I agree with TAMPA, what ever kit you choose, you could do the install.

Purging is not only fun..it really gets the crowd's attention also.

Joe, I will ask someone this Friday to take a PIC of my bed with the bottle and battery box for you and post it here, I think you'll like it

If you get a rpm window switch you have to send it to MSD and have it modified for use with the L ignition. Costs $35 for the mod to the switch

yes there is, don't leave your bottle warmer running, and go on vacation, or something. heat and cryogenic gases have a habit of causing expansion, and when you plug the burst disc on the cylinder because the sulfur dioxide keeps choking the hell out of you every time the bottle vents because you leave the warmer on all the time, somethings gotta give, or something
