Understanding Nitrous Kits
Nitrous kits are some of the coolest things you can add to your vehicle – press a button, shoot some flames out the back, and immediately gain a ton of horsepower. These are systems that allow you to inject nitrous oxide into your engine’s combustion chamber to increase the amount of oxygen available for making power. While you won't find OEM nitrous kits for most trucks, that doesn't mean you can't add one, and plenty of options are available to help you maximize your engine’s power output.While nitrous is commonly used for racing, as seen in movies like Fast and the Furious or in games like Need for Speed and Forza, that's not its only use, and you'll find that the right kit can improve your vehicle’s off-road capabilities. For example, if you need a boost or power to get over a rock or steep incline, a quick shot of NOS can get you over that hump.
Nitrous Bottles
Nitrous kits don't always come together and the first thing you'll need is a nitrous bottle. If you’re planning on hitting the trails, driving through water, or planning on doing a combination of both, you'll need an offroad nitrous kit with a bottle that's strong enough to handle the elements.Nitrous Express has plenty of great options including 10-lb and 15-lb tanks that give you plenty of flexibility to run just about any 4x4 nitrous kit. You can also get a standard aftermarket nitrous kit and upgrade the bottle later.
Nitrous Controller Kits
Having a bottle of nitrous attached to your engine isn't going to do much without the right supporting cast, which is where nitrous controller kits come into play. Aftermarket nitrous kits connect to your nitrous system and enable you to run the mixture through your engine exactly when you want to. There are more advanced systems, like the Nitrous Outlet ProMax Dual Channel Progressive Controller Kit, which comes with advanced RPM monitoring, software updates, and much more.On the other hand, simpler options are also available if you just want to click a button and release your nitrous for a quick boost. Another product from the same brand, the WinMax TPS and RPM Activated Nitrous Window Switch gives you a simple switch you can install in your cabin and connect to your engine for precise control over your nitrous system.
