Question Need dry-kit recommendation...

Okay, I'm a nitrous newbie and I need some info.

I have a stock 1995 Z28 A4 that I plan to do basic bolt-ons to, which at first will mean cat-back, K&N CAI, 8mm wires, hotter coil and a 2400-2800 stall. I have 3.23 gears which I plan to keep for now.

What would be recommended for a safe boost of 100rwhp over just the boltons? Keep in mind, newbie. The more "packaged" it is, the better for me. I'm terrible with wiring.

Thanks,

Michael

Im running the TNT kit and love it but you can pick up a NOS 5177 kit fairly cheap. Either kit is not bad to install and will bring a smile to your face when u kick it.

5177 is the LS1 kit. He needs the 5176 kit for his LT1.

Is the NOS kit for LT1 quality, complete and reasonably safe?.... Is it LT1-specific? Seems the LT1 has its own set of issues so the LS1 kits won't work (damn LS1's are so easy!).

L8r,

Michael
