How the HP is rated on the chart makes no differance in actually using the kit. All NX is doing is saying thier .042 jet is a 50 shot, while NOS says a .034 jet is 50hp.

NX is just telling you to run a bigger jet, it's not like thier kits are better and magicly make more power with the same parts. If you want to make "NX power ratings" with an NOS kit, just use the NX chart's jet sizes.

So I'm thinking about going this route, and was wandering if running reflash/s/afc together to tune the nitrous would be okay right. Thinking about just running a 50shot with 20lbs.

im asuming that u would have to run ur reflash for everyday driving then with ur s-afc add some fuel when using nitrous. but like everyone is already saying, if u use a wet kit u dont need any tuning.

How much hp a certain brand makes just depends on how much nitrous the jet flows.

You all need to quit bench racing.

Get the car on a dyno, and tune it properly up to where you feel comfortable.

Like DSMotorsport has said, he has made 500 on a stock block, so that is feasible if you so desire.
