I don't need any more torque so I am going to go with electric cutouts that are remote controlled. I can open them any amount at any time. I don't do welding so I have been calling around to find someone that will do the job before I order them.

I had the nitrous installed at an Indy BMW performance specialist shop. I wanted experienced techs. The methanol is from snow performance and a straightforward install. I can adjust the flow to come in at any injector pulse width and be a full charge at any width as well. Nitrous cost was just under $4,000. Took 3 days to install and I had extra testing done so that took almost a week.

$4000? What kind of kit do u have?
