Do any particular ones come to mind? I believe NOS has a couple, the Jacobs
Nitrous Mastermind seems pretty cool. I think I've seen one sold by MSD
too.
Like you say though, the solenoid abuse is the problem... Do you have any
experience with using a progressive system? If so, do you just replace your
solenoids after X number of hours, or get them refurbished, or... ? Any ways
to test a solenoid to determine its general well-being?
Do you know of any that don't control the flow by slamming the solenoids open
and shut? (Or is there no other way?)
