Default What do you guys think????

I have a chance to pick up a Nitrous Express wet system cheap. 30 to 150hp. The thing is my old gt has over a 100000 miles on it. Its been taken care of and runs great. It just worrys me that its weak and can't take it. I would only use the 30 or maybe 50hp jets. I do plan a new motor in a couple years,just not now. So,what do you think? :wallbash:

even with 100000 you can still spray a 100shot and be fine. Thats really not that much for an engine anymore. in the 50's yeah.

This is coming from experience...if you plan to only use the 30 or 50 jets, save your money.....

I bought an NX kit 5 years ago for my old 98 GT and started with the 50 jets and it didn't impress me much, so, I stepped up to the 75 jets....that was a little bit better but still not satisfying, so, I went to the 100 jets and wow! That was a big difference!

It was weird, from 50 to 75 didn't seem all that much, but from 75 to 100 felt like a huge jump in power!

Like some others said, I don't believe a 75 or 100 would hurt it, just don't use it like some of my friends did....they would run around with the bottle open all the time, like it was a supercharger in a bottle...lol

Well,the guy came over today to show me what he had. I'll be passing on this one. Just a tank and a bunch of crap in a box,and not the NX box. No manuals or anything. No wonder it was so cheap. Thanks for your input.
