I had a NX wet kit back in the day on my 2000 GT. It was fun. I remember when I first got it, I'd spray anything that moved...Honda Civic with a fart can or what ever This car is really just a fun n/a daily driver. It's faster than 98% of cars out there and there will always be someone with "more". But it is tempting...

there is only ONE problem with nitrous...

my car made 490 rwhp NA.. and 650 on bottle.. after the first few times i ran on bottle, i did a few NA pulls and i thought i broke the car because it felt slow as balls lol. I was seriously mad that the FIRST time i used my nitrous i broke it..

Threw it on the dyno and just as always put down 492 rwhp.. it's like a drug and when you are OFF the bottle your shit feels broken...

I thought your car felt really strong NA even with both of us fatties in it. I never got to ride in it again on the bottle, but I bet it was insane. I need a ride with the new set up!

How much is nitrous these days? I had a 10# bottle back in the day and I think it was like $30 to fill, if that. It wasn't overly expensive, but I've heard it's a lot these days.

3.75-4 dollars a lb, at least that's what it was last year, I sold my car in June, so prices coulda gone up I guess.
