Help with nitrous decision please

alright, im thinking about getting a nitrous kit...

ive heard only good things about Nitrous Express and ive been looking into getting efi stage one kit and running a 50 shot... does this sound good?? or is there any other company i should look into like venom or something...

how hard is installation (should i have it installed or try myself) and more important, if i were to take the kit out, would there be any trace of it left anywhere (would i have to replace stock parts or would taking it off be perfectly stock) or how hard would it be to return it to stock conditions

thanks for any feedback

go with nitrous express. it comes with complete instructions, read them and if you think you can install it then do it, if not pay someone.the only reall thing that wouldn't look stock if you take it out is where ever you put the jet cuz there will be a small hole.

The venom one is really cool. It has all sorts of programmable sh!!t. But damn it's expensive as hell. I was going to get that one but when i saw the price i said forget it. I went for the nx system instead. I still haven't installed it because i havent had the time yet.

I thought it was the other way around...DON'T use it in 1st and 5th gear?? I'm not a nitrous guru, but 1st gear is a bit short and 5th gear doesn't have much pull. That sounds like a good way to blow an engine...

Here, this should help...
