I can get hooked up on a NY-TREX Triple Threat EFI Wet Nitrous Kit for my Tahoe. Any one ever have a nos hookup in their Tahoe/Yukon? I saw one with a ZEX kit for sale a while ago but know nothing about them. Is it worth it to get and install, safe? It looks killer with the tank in the back but don't wanna kill myself. Any feedback would be great thanks!

Just my opinion, if you are not seriously drag racing at a strip, nitrous oxide is rice.

BS TO above statment. Ive done many installs of the kits NO PROBLEM EVER. Problems is when you use 150 shot on a stock truck lol

best kit by far is the harris speed works kit. do a 75 shot and you will be happy.

here is a video of my tbss on a 75 shot with their kit.

Nitrous is very fun. Each kit is pretty much the same with a few minor differences. There is nothing more unsafe about nitrous compared to any other form of FI. And there is nothing rice about it lol. Except calling it NOS all the time and judging the shot by the size of the bottle lol.

With the proper saftey equipment and tune nitrous is a very fun and addicting power adder. I would opt for proper safety measures with any kit. Of course a bottle warmer, purge, fuel safety cut off switch, pressure gauge, blow down tube etc.. I would aslo go with the FJO nitrous controller. Esp for dbw applications. A custom dyno tune is also good to have.

you will not kill yourself. I had a friend trying to blow his motor before installing his forged motor and he sprayed it to living hell... It took 4 back to back runs with an open nitrous line (no jets) before it started knocking lol

^ look at how these threads typically start - NOS, big bottle, looks cool, etc... I guess it's the application and use. Excon, not calling you out, this is just an observation. Excon it would help to see what your use is and expectations so those with experience can provide useful guidance.

Don't get me wrong, I like power and having fun. I prefer having power that is not limited by supplementary fuel and available for longer periods (not just drag racing).

Just my opinion :gr_grin:.

Well I figured it would be a fun little boost of HP to go along with my soon to be BB tune and besides the looks don't hurt either. I'd never take my tahoe to the drag strip but for where I drive sometimes long flat empty roads id be nice to get a little kick and have more fun while I drive.

I would just go for a head/cam combo. Nos is at the end of my list. The amount of time you would use it is so limited. It would be like a train horn. Cool to have but how many times are u gonna use it?

I wouldn't recommend it. If your Tahoe is your DD and you don't plan on racing it then I realllllllllllly wouldn't recommend it. :Handshake:

I would put it last on the list. Its usually what I do. Get intake/headers/exhaust then maybe a good locker/gear combo.. Tune, trans cooler, shift kit, vette servo. That will probably give you more then enough to play with. Then a cam will step it up and if you feel you want more then yep nitrous will put you where you want to be.

But relly really seriously you will def need to beef up the trans. Especially with FI
