Sir Ryan, first off, please refrain from calling me a "good freind of yours"
I only know you as somebody who posts on the internet... not that I wouldnt
be one but I usually like to meet people in person before I call them "a
good freind". You have done this quite a few times and I am sure people do
not take you seriously. Second, where in the world are you buying an NX
nitrous kit that I used for only $300? I paid $811 shipped for my NX 150 Hp
kit... this is the one with all the goodies that can on demand produce a
true 150 Hp shot. (Gen X kit with bottle warmer etc) And don't forget the
$34 a pop for bottle refills every 6 runs. It adds up quick believe me.
Third, I had MUCH more money into my truck than $600 to run 12.86. I will
put down a small list:
$811 150 HP NX nitrous kit
$705 Ceramic coated Mopar Headers
$275 Quick D TB
$150 set of Dakota 15x8 rims
$350 set of 325/50/15 Hoosier drag tires
$100 set of exhaust dumps
$75 Accel SuperCoil with wire adapter
$25 set of Accel one step colder plugs
$40 set of spring clamps
$50 K&N 8" cone filter
$75 Air/fuel meter
$10 Heavy duty 180 degree thermo
$10 short belt
$34 nitrous fill (one of many)
---------
$2710 total.... and no the truck would not run anywhere near that on the
street. Maybe mid 13s at best. All I smell is a young whipper snapper who is
wet behind the ears.
