Should have got...
..the CF bottle.
Would have matched the rest of the CF parts
Also, why would you spend $500 on a NX kit plus $30+ to fill the bottle each time, when you could just *click*click*click* for free?
Got lag?

Not bothered with the lag at all. Why nitrous? Because the injectors max out after a while, so I need to think of other ways of getting more power. Wet kit is nice since it doesn't tax the injectors. Hehehe

'03 Cobra injectors (39#) almost fit. I think they just need different plugs. And I can get them new for $30 each.

However, the NX kit is cheaper than injectors, but you don't have to keep refilling.WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DYNO!?!?!?!?!?!

Like I just said in the Nitrous forum.. you're crazy man!
BEST of luck though. If you pass the 500fwhp mark I will personally come down to your home and take you out to dinner. (Please don't crank up the NX kit to do it just once because I really need the cash for my car).

How close are the Cobra injectors to fitting? Just the connectors? Is the impedence the same? If so, this would be cool.

Are our injectors different then 4th gens? If not, you could follow Mardigras and use 370cc injectors.:naughty However, the NX kit is cheaper than injectors, but you don't have to keep refilling.

hehe no plans for now - maybe at the end of summer - I plan on road-tripping a bit
Of course, I will have to keep up to my promise if Kev's dyno numbers go high enough.... and they stay there

Hey Axel will you be joining us with that broken in block on Sunday at St. Thomas?
