damn you're getting jackked for 50 bucks a refill,...i get free refills (its good have friends at the local Advance Auto Parts
) but even if it wasnt free,...nitrous per pound here is only 3 bucks,..10 pound bottle would run you 30 bucks

I paid 499 shipped for my kit. installed it myself. not too difficult. biggest pain was running the Nitrous line. I only had a single jack to lift my car up. Being Lowered with a body kit is not helpful when installing the kit.
Took me about 8 hours. My mind tends to wander when doing projectsh:

I have a quick ? for all yall sprayers....how much hp can you get out of NITROUS. I was doing some research on some turbo civics but it seems like a hassle maintaining it and its expensive. Now how do yall run against tuboed cars or supercharged cars. I have a D16Y8 motor and unfortunately i had to fix my engine and my funds for the turbo had to be spent to get the car started. Will I be spankin civic, tegs, preludes..or is the power not the drastic(sp?). please let me no watsup the NITROUS. My car
currently is running on basic mods like I/H/E, Full Black Widow Kit with 17' rims

well the shot that i run is supposed to add an equal number of horsepower. so i should have 55 HP more then the stock civic. You technically can boost as high as you want but you will blow up your engine. my kit came with i believe 55 65 and 75 shot jets. you need to do some modifications when going over the 55 shot though. adjusting timing and what not.
I cant really tell ya what kinda cars you should be beating. I havent really raced anyone. You should be beating all the stock Si's I would assume, as well as all other stock civics. OC should be able to tell ya alot more about waht cars you should whoop on. Hes been racing alot longer then me thats for sure
