Seen too many kids do harm to their engines because they didn't know how to lift their foot off of the accelerator before the fuel cut off activated. Nitrous + Air + not enough fuel from the initial stages of the fuel cutting off = lots of cry babies.

Trick question; the correct answer is "neither"!
Well, I suppose if you're a drag racer or live your life a 1/4 mile at a time, then nitrous is OK. For sports cars that have to go around corners, it's definitely NOT the way to go to get additional power.

Nitrous with Rotary
Guys I'm looking for anyone with experience with nitrous on a rotary engine not just the new Renesis. How does it preform and is it a good idea to use it? And guys I'm looking for opinions from people have used it before on a rotary engine, please no theories or ideas and please no "I wouldn't do it" or "it's bad for it" if you've never tried it. Those answers are great if you've tried it, but I keep getting answers and opinions from people who don't know what they are talking about. Thanks
-oh yeah what do you guys think about the venom computerised system?

I guess the questions are:
- Has nitrous been used on previous rotaries?
- If so, what type of system (wet or dry) is best?
- What size "shot" was used?
- How does a mild shot affect the longevity of the rotary engine?

I keep seeing recommendation from people, but I have not seen an article from someone who has indeed install the NOS kit.
I have heard from two shops in Miami that NOS on the new new Renesis is ticking because of the way the intake is designed. They mentioned that one of the rotors get more NOS than the other.
Can someone confirm this?
Regards

Seems very unlikely. It's about like saying that one piston gets more then another. I would assume that like most vehicles, the intake runners and tubing keep an even air flow. I'm interested in knowing how it affects performance when the other two ports open up though.
