Default Nitrous???? 5.3L

So I wanna get a Nitrous kit for the extra HP, i wanns run a 125 shot. Nitrous is one thing that i have not done and have not really read too much about. I am good at installation and all so i will install it myself. What kit should i get??? How much does it run??? How hard is it to install?

I have heard many good things about the nitrous express kits, thats what i'm going to get in the future and probably run a 125 shot as well, I'm getting a wet kit. With the wet kit you should also look into getting a fuel pressure regulator switch, Wide Open Throttle switch (the NX kit comes with this) and you might want to run a rpm activation module so you can set it up to not spray when you shift. The NX wet kit is about $590 and comes with everything you need, including the WoT switch. It doesn't come with the rpm activation module or fuel pressure regulator however.

Hope this helps

I'm running a home-made dry shot on mine. Here is a link to some info on it:

It feels REAL good on the street, although traction is really an issue. I'm going to the track on Sunday, so I'll let you know exactly how much I get out of it.

I have a TNT F1 kit(75-150hp wet kit) and the fact that it has 2 nozzle with 4 jets in the power ring going over your throttle body to me makes it superior to others but I dont have experience with others. The guys at TNT told me that I should get 107rwhp with a 100 shot and I cant remember the tq #'s but they were good! Go with TNT or NX they seem to be the most used on this site!

I have a dry shot on mine, I gained about 130 rear ft lbs of torque & 100 rwhp on a nos 120 shot, this with 22 degrees of timing. The install was fairly simple when I first put it in it took all of an hour. It was very clean but I did it just to make sure it worked. It took about 2 hours to clean it up with the switches. If you have any automotive knowladge at all it would be a breeze, I cannot imagine paying anyone to do it. I would put it on the same leval as installing an amp.

from what i understand NX rates their kits at the tire nitro daves who i now believ is nitrous express in the manufacturer link >>>>>> sells something i think for like 690$ somewhere around there with a pressure gauge and such as well that is what i would do. keep in mind again that NX rates at the rear tire i believe friend running one gains (on a 100 shot) 100 hp and like over 120 tq hope this helps
