I run NOS on my personal Drag car, I have been installing and tuning 1000s of kits since the 80's.
I tune NOS on my Dyno regularly.
I am not the youngest guy around at 43, but that is to your advantage, Nothing replaces experience.

Speaking of which, are you going to bring your Camaro to any of the track days this year? I would love to see that in action. Of course, I wouldn't mind watching the wagon again either.

I wish my nitrous guy would bring his camaro to the track. The mans running over 600 horse on just motor then has 3 stages of nitrous totally a 550 shot. The car is insane. Thanks for your tidbit jennetty bout your experience. Not sure who ill use for the tuning itself yet, n/o but most likely him just cause i need to refill the bottle and its literally a fraction of what you guys charge. correct me if im wrong by all means ($10 a pound) But well see i might not keep the nitrous on the car too much longer. Hows your turbo build going by the way. Heard that a certain cobalt gonna be extremly impressive in the upcoming months.

One of the cooler Nos cars I've got to deal with was an LS1 Vette with a dual shot on a built motor. With Ted's tune it made 750+ rwhp spinning the tires on the dyno. Old BFGs are not the way to go.LOL

I know that price is incorrect I'll post up the REAL nitrous pricing for you guys tommorow.

Your welcome.
I don't know where you heard that but it has always, always!!!!! been below 4.50 a pound, in fact it is 4.00 a lb right now

Another guy quoted me at 750-800 for a tune on a cobalt which is ludacris, I get 600.00 regular price for all GM tunes with the license.

I think he took a quote for an SRT4 and thought it was the same.
The license fee for an SRT is sick but it is the only game in town right now.

I try and keep my pricing in line with what all the reputable well established speed shops are doing, I can't and won't compete with the home mechanic or just opened the other day speed shop.

Ted.
