Question NOS vs Chip

Just bought a Cold Fusion Wet kit for cheep...not sure if I should use it on my truck or just stick the plan and get a chip? Anyone have a chip on their 150? If so was it worth the money cause this NOS kit was cheeper than the chip. Also anyone with NOS, any problems with running the bottle. Thanks in advance.

A chip may actually increase your engine life (and your tranny). NOS is for the short term. MHO.

NOS is easy horsepower, but it is for short burst and you must constantly refill the bottle @ $35+ per refill. I used it alot on my Mustang back in the day when I raced it a lot. The chip will be there all of the time. The chip won't make the power gains that NOS will, but it is a lot cheaper in the long run due to the bottle refills.
