Help me buy a nitrous set up.

In reference to the original posters questions:

I would stick with either NX, Nitrous Outlet or HSW. These are traditionally more expensive kits but JUICEDSTANG made an excellent point when he said you get what you pay for. I would not skimp on anything for your system. If you do it right the first time you will end up being richer and happier. I am going to assume that you are installing the system yourself. If wiring is not your thing I would recommend the NX plate kit because it comes pre-loomed and as pre-wired as it can. I would consider all 3 of these kits equal so in the end how your car performs will not depend on the brand kit under your hood but how well it was installed.

Here is an actual picture of the NX kit-


You can see in the picture all the loomed wire and the connections to the solenoids- the kit comes like that from NX making it a very easy install, avoiding many of the wiring problems that seem to show up with nitrous kits.

As far as extras go I would get the same 3's accessories packages. But, def. as already stated make sure you have plugs, blow down tube and a window switch at a minimum.

Matt, got a question for you. i am pretty new to this site and im curious why a lot of people around here don't like window switches. To me its an easy no brainer to get. Not to mention TPS activation, A/F shutdown and everything else they come with now a days, makes them even more desirable.

As for all the solenoid talk, you really hit on what my point out of everything was. Hands down the large based noids of any of those companies are going to outperform their own or another companies small based noids. My point wasn't to say Brand X and Zex kits sucks, Its just that they happen to be on the cheaper side and i'd rather pay for better performing components. I am sure even nitrous outlet would not suggest Brand X small noids over nitrous outlet large based regardless of shot size.

I have no idea it is a no brainer for me as well. Maybe people don't want to do the extra wiring. But, I would never run a kit without it.

I have the wilson manifolds kit. Everything seems top notch, just wish it came with a window switch.

I've never seen any kit come with a window switch. Usually its something you add on to a basic kit, just like a bottle heater, FPSS, nitrous filter, etc. Not everyone wants one, so they don't usually come with a kit.

The NOS(not something I would recommend) 05 mustang specific kit comes with a window and WOT switch in one. It is only one that I am aware of that does.

I'll have to look that one up. I guess its not fair to say no kit comes with that stuff. Even nitrous outlet and harris have "package" kits to put MOST of the stuff you need in one package.

Here is the little window switch NOS includes.
