I thinks its the best. Its approximately the same price as the others, it has heavy duty solenoids that are guaranteed for life and NX will rebuild them every year if you want for the price of postage. Plus its idiot proof, requires no tuning and does not bump up the fuel pressure to levels that the injectors were not designed for.

The standard setup for all nitrous systems is a WOT switch so that it will only spray when the pedal is to the metal. I spray mine from 0 to the end of the 1/4. I believe autos are better suited for nitrous than manuals.

You can hook up a push button in additon to the WOT switch so you can just spray when you want, there are many options in that regard.

You are putting extra stress on the tranny using nitrous. I you want to turn on and shut off the spray between shifts you can do that.

I am just stating what I do and I race about 12 times per year with about 8 runs per race, plus T&T days which I do even more runs with up to a 150 shot.

Could you hurt you transmission, sure you can, anytime you put extra HP or race you are taxing the engine, trans etc.

If you want to reduce you chances of screwing the trans, do the drop resisitor mod, install a trans cooler and switch to synthetic trans fluid.

I have the 24,000 one. Don't think you can go too big because it is bypassed until higher temps are reached.
