A. That question cannot be answered without a lot more information, however almost any V8 engine can run up to 150HP boost without any concerns.

Q. I just bought a new Corvette with the LS6 engine; does NX make anything specifically for this car?

A. Absolutely! PN 20220 is a direct port style nitrous system that utilizes the Nitrous Express NXL nozzle. These nitrous nozzles are placed underneath the stock fuel injectors and deliver nitrous and fuel directly to each port. This system also includes high flow fuel rails and an integral 4-solenoid nitrous/fuel delivery system. A plug and play wiring harness completes this unique system.

Q. I really don’t want to go to that much expense and trouble to install the NXL system, does NX make anything simpler and less costly?

A. The PN 20109 and the 20110 are MAF style nitrous systems that either replace or modify the existing MAF housing with a new billet nitrous system. Both are adjustable from 35 to 150 HP and come with electronic TPAS activation switches. The PN 20920 is always a great option also, adjustable 35-150HP for stock applications and optional settings up to 250HP for modified engines.

Q. I have an LS1 Camaro and want to install a “hidden” nitrous system, what do you recommend?

A. The PN 20920 is the simplest and easiest of all to install and use. It utilizes a single Shark nozzle and is adjustable from 35-150 HP with optional settings to 250HP. The nozzle can be placed on the underside of

the bellows connecting the air cleaner to the throttle body and the solenoids can be easily mounted in a hidden area.

Q. I have an LS style engine with a centrifugal supercharger, can I use nitrous?

A. NX specializes in blower and turbo nitrous applications. The combination of a PN 20920 and a NXd5000 controller is the ultimate set-up. The PN NXd5000 is a boost referenced progressive controller that senses boost and automatically ramps the nitrous charge out as the boost comes up. This controller can handle two stages of nitrous and can ramp in either a boost or time reference. This allows for a straight torque “curve” with no soft spots. The ultimate in nitrous/boost control!

Q. I have a small roots type blower on my street rod, the blower is really cool but just does not produce enough power to satisfy my need for speed. Can you help?

A. The small street blowers can benefit greatly from a small plate style nitrous system. A PN 30040 conventional plate system can turn your 4-71 street blower into a raging 14-71 beast! A 100HP jet setting can produce a true 150HP rear wheel blast. How you ask; the nitrous discharges at 127 degrees below zero, this provides the ultimate intercooler while still producing the advertised 100HP. The 50 extra ponies are just a bonus.

Q. I have a budget 1968 Camaro with a crate engine. The car is great to drive and gets awesome fuel economy but the power is just not there, HELP!

A. You are a great candidate for our PN ML1000 MainLine economy nitrous system. Adjustable 50-100-150HP this system is designed for the hot rodder on a budget. It still uses the same rugged technology as our top of the line systems but all of the “Fluff” has been taken out to lower the price to rock bottom.

Q. What is a progressive controller?

A. The NX Maximizer PN 15959 is an electronic nitrous controller that allows you to apply the nitrous power is a controlled or ramped manner. For instance you can jet your nitrous system for 150HP but launch the car with only 50HP and have the controller ramp up the power over a pre-set amount of time to 150HP. This helps your car handle the tremendous torque produced by the NX “Next Generation” nitrous technology.

Q. I checked out the Maximizer but its out of my budget range, don’t you have anything for the little guys?

A. The Mini Controller PN FJOKWS0022 is just what you are looking for. It has many of the great features of the Maximizer but at a fraction of the cost!

Q. I read on the Internet that progressive controllers eat solenoids, is this true?

A. NX “Lightning” solenoids, PN 15200L for example, were specifically designed to be used with a progressive controller and have a limited life-time warranty. Do not try to run the other guys “off shore” solenoids, they can’t take it!

Q. Does NX offer custom nitrous systems?

A. Yes, NX has a complete shop facility that is geared to make the most difficult nitrous applications easy, at least for the customer! Everything from classic cars, to hidden systems, to nitrous for the most obscure applications there’s no challenge too big for NX.

Q. What is a purge valve and do I need one?

A. The purge valve is an auxiliary nitrous solenoid that is activated manually by the driver prior to a nitrous assisted pass. This solenoid vents the gaseous nitrous from the supply line that connects the nitrous bottle to the nitrous solenoid. This allows a pure liquid nitrous charge to enter the engine for an instant surge of power. A purge valve is worth about a tenth of a second on a quarter mile pass. Yes, everyone needs a purge valve.

Q. What is the best gasoline to use with nitrous?

A. As a general rule the higher the octane the better, however steer clear of oxygenated fuels. They have high octane ratings but already have an added oxygen component. This can result in a very lean condition resulting in detonation and engine damage. There are several good companies that offer a nitrous specific fuels. Use the highest octane you can get and you will never be sorry.

Q. My race car runs on methanol, can I run nitrous with methanol?

A. Yes, Nitrous Express specializes in N2O/methanol nitrous applications. Every nitrous system NX sells is available in alcohol enrichment. A strong ignition system is required, but the results are worth the effort. Hugh amounts of torque and detonation resistance are the benefits of using methanol.

Q. Can I rebuild my own solenoids?

A. Yes, all NX solenoids are field serviceable, however all NX solenoids have a limited-Lifetime warranty so no rebuilding should be necessary.

Q. How important is bottle pressure?

A. Bottle pressure is critical to a reliable, repeatable nitrous system. The minimum required to enjoy a trouble free nitrous system is a nitrous pressure gauge PN 15509, and a bottle heater PN 15940.

Q. Is the installation difficult for the average home mechanic?

A. The installation of the nitrous system is straight forward and simple. Anyone with basic shop tools should be able to do the job is a few hours.
