Nitrous Question

Just a quick question about nitrous. Why are kits only adjustable up to 150 or 200 or whatever. Cant you just buy new jets and increase the amount of nitrous? Maybe im missing something

To increase it past those levels, you would need larger solinoids for the products to pass thru

The limiting factor is both the jets and the solenoids. You can have a solenoid that can handle a 200 shot, but only be using 75 shot jets.

Correct. But if you are going to invest the money in a nitrous system, spend the money on getting the bigger silinoids. They are built better, and I have yet to see one fail in the three years I have been around this stuff.
