New NX bottle valve

The boss just ordered 3 bottles for the super comp dragster.
Here is the new bottle valve, anodized billet aluminum: Maybe some of you have seen it already, but I thought I would show everyone.

What is the advantage, higher flow?

It also has some bottle side ports so you no longer need to "know" someone at N/X to get a "pro-fitting".

Seth, yes. This is directly from NX's site:

High Flow Bottle Valves
The key to maximizing nitrous horsepower is to keep the nitrous in liquid form until it is injected into the engine. Sharp bends cause nitrous flow to become turbulent which causes gaseous bubbles to form in the nitrous flow. Liquid nitrous makes more power than gaseous nitrous – Period!
Nitrous Express Lightning 45 and DF5 bottle valves feature a direct flow path which eliminates those power robbing gaseous bubbles. The result is more horsepower! The Lightning 45 will outflow any competitors valve on the market today by a factor of four and is recommended for all nitrous systems up to 900 nitrous horsepower. The DF 5, which is equipped with a .500 orifice and a direct flow, straight through design, is capable of flowing over 2,000 nitrous horsepower!
