NOS Top Shot???

I saw this in jegs, it looks like a good way to hid nitrous. is there any draw backs? is it as effiecent as a plate system, and can it freeze your throttle blades open? I thought I heard that before about mustang guys puttings the nozzle in front of the throttle blade. Thanks. I have been wondering about this kit for a while now, just never asked.

I almost bought that kit. That is really cool that you can hide it. To answer your question about the efficiency...The answer is no. Car Craft or Hot Rod did a N20 system test and the plate was superior. With the Top Shot 150 hp jets they only got like 135 hp or something like that. The plate was far more accurate. Right at 150 hp.

I don't really like the kit because of the risks of it moving/not working are too high.

If you want to hide nitrous, that is easy I did it and you would never be able to see it (and its not under the intake either). The trick is to have a black motor and accessories and paint the nitrous parts black, simple but undetectable (under a dual snorkel anyway).

Plate is the way to go, definitely.

I have utilized black hose, loom, tape, zipties and/or paint to hide systems.
