The only difference is probably the jet sizes it comes with.

Why not just NX or NOS. Prolly cheaper.

I have the Edelbrock Wet NOS kit #71002 in my car, 2003 LX and its nice power boost for sure, i took off that dumb *** WOT swith and replaced it with the handy push button bc i didnt wanna be sprayin in 1st gear off the line. I also would like to say i picked it up brand new for $550. I'd like some help with the jetting though bc the damn thing only came with jets for 60hp. Id like to get it to jet 75hp, but i cant find a jetting table/diagram anywhere so i can buy the new jets. If someone can point me in the direction it would be a BIG help.

ok its nitrous and not "NOS" (just to retard the flames a little, lol) and i think that edelbrock would have them if you call them, ( also i wouldnt reccomend running that much nitrous if your motors not built for it)

ight my bad, NITROUS, but just to help you out, NOS is a univeral abreviation for NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM. So it can also apply in my terminolgy. But i dont think it really matters that you had to point that out other then to try and make a fool out of someone.

I just got back from the track and testing out my "Nitrous" kit and it knocked more then a 1.50s off my times, pretty good for a 60hp shot, i cant wait to see where my 75hp shot is gonna put me. Should get me into the mid 15s. Not super fast, but faster then the stock **** dont ya think.

What kind of car do you have Ghost?.... people are running mid to high 14's with nitrous and bolt-ons. You should be running better then mid 15's on a 60 shot.

i know this thread is dead, but i just wanted to point out that NOS is a company that makes nitrous systems. That just bothered me because kid was saying he didn't want the other one to get flamed for saying NOS, but he was saying NX or NOS, which are both companies that sell nitrous systems. K sorry, im done

back to the topic discussed... an LX stick should be running right around 16.4 with a 5 speed tranny completely stock... so with I/H/E and nitrous seems like higher 14's or very low 15's should be normal...
