Re: anyone used any of these?
Short answer: no
Long Answer: In my opinion, nitrous should be built for and used, or it should be left alone. If you are building a motor for nitrous (Or that is ready for nitrous at a later date) then you should go for an adjustable system.
If you aren't building a motor for nitrous, then this system might be a good rarely used addition.
Remember though, you need to adjust fuel and timing to use it safely and effectively. That's where a lot of people go wrong... tuning a motor for natural aspiration then adding nitrous and thinking they can get away with spraying it "only once in a while." Ever seen a piston melt?
My vote goes for using the money to build a motor that will build more power without nitrous... For about a hundred extra bucks, you can go for a bitchin' damper that will take POUNDS off of your rotating assembly, or get a set of alum roller rockers.

Re: anyone used any of these?
man nitrous is awesome as long as you dont get crazy. Definatly get an adjustable kit. Like the NX mainline system or a more complete kit. NX stands behind their products better than holley (NOS), NX has a lifetime warrenty on their solenoids, and their jets are rated for rear wheel horse instead of crank hp.

You wont catch me using it. I built my engine for maxium power with the main objective being dependability for every day use, if I so desire. JB

powershot kit
the powershot kit is a good entry level 125hp kit. any bigger and you will need hypereutectic/ or forged pistons, and better rod bolts. you will need to back the timing off (2 degrees for every 50hp). just make sure your fuel pump will maintain 6-7.5 psi throughout the run. whatever you do, dont run the engine lean (fuel pressure)...this is what hurts the pistons (detonation). this kit will work fine on a stock, or mildly built engine, as long as you follow these guidelines !!! also make sure the bottle is at approx. 900psi (on cold nights the bottle will need to be warmed). i have used nitrous on the street / track for 15 years, and have never hurt an engine because of it. I even use it on my alcohol carbed PINTO, a bracket race car ( only for finish line racing, if it is close).

Re: anyone used any of these?
Hypereutectic would shatter if leaned out. Need forged internals before you play with the giggle juice.
Besides bottles are for baby's.![bounce](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_bounce.gif)

Re: anyone used any of these?
I like Nitrous, but yea hypereutectic pistons will shatter if detonation occurs, you have to MAKE sure your car is tuned properly N/A and have enough fuel and timing retard to run the nitrous. But I dont think you are running hypers
Detonation has a certian frequency that causes the hypers to shatter, its weird.
