Default Proton series vs X-series Nitrous

Ok guys so it has come down to spray the truck. Best time is around 12.6 at 107 and it’s pretty consistent at those numbers down the track. I have decided that it is time to feed her some nitrous, I’m on a budget therefore my two options are the proton series and the X-series. Proton is a tad bit cheaper by around $50. But it seems that the x-series has more components(good or bad thing idk) Both are capable of spraying 150-200 which is about the max i will do in the future. I will start off with a 50 shot and go from there. Just wanted to get some feedback/advice on this decision. Any input is greatly appreciated

Proton kit is easy to plumb because of the combined fuel/N2O solenoids in the same box. Just add a purge valve and a window switch and you're good to go. I was looking at this setup for my 2000. I decided to get the WOT/Window Switch since I would rather run it off TPS voltage than have to put a bracket for my throttle cable to hit.


Once I get the 3200 RPM converter, I'll probably set the window switch to spray from 3500-6000 RPM or depending on how high it brake stalls and flash stalls maybe 4000-6000 since when the truck is making a pass it will stay above 4000 RPM. I just don't want it to engage when I'm on the foot brake at the line stalling it up.

Good idea, man it can really add up with the misc. parts but in a way they are needed for safety concerns. I have a 3200 stall and thought about doing it at 4K, like you said about stalling it up at the light

Yeah it's worth it for the safety. Also a fuel pressure safety switch can help just in case your pump takes a **** it cuts off the nitrous solenoid.

Which 3200 converter do you have? I am probably going to get the Circle D.

A 4000 RPM to 6000 RPM window switch would be perfect for you. That way it's not spraying a ton of nitrous and your bottle will last longer too.

Its a circle d, very easy on the truck and it really woke up my truck but to be honest if I could do it again I would of went with a 3600. But I think they can restall for free or very cheap. You'll enjoy the 3200 even for daily driving it's very nice, and I have 4.10. Man I was thinking this nitrous thing was pretty straight forward but the more research you do the more it makes sense to add all the misc. items. Oh well I'll act like I'm dumb when the statement comes and the wife sees lol

I have 4.10's in my truck too. Maybe I'll go 3600 on the stall then. What size tires do you run? I'm still on 265/75/16's.

Just remember that the nitrous will make the converter hit harder and change the stall speed abit.
