The nos kicks in at full throttle, I try to keep it above 4K RPM to keep it safe. I lot of people make the mistake of spaying at to a low RPM this can cause engine damage AKA holes in things you don't want hole's in But I have had no problem with pinging or back fires it just feels like it has three rotors instead of two wich is very nice. I have already fooled a 350Z & 4.6 Mustang with my new set up, I LOVE the look on there faces it's pricless :D they give this WTF I just got walked buy an RX-8 look . I bet they both thank there is some thing wrong with there cars.

I would love to post I video but would need some help do to the fact I have never posted a vid and have know idea how??? any help would be great

Why doesn't 55 shot = 55hp? Isn't that what they are advertising? Or are they lying? It is easy to rate nitous, five lbs burned in one miniute = 100hp. It doesn't matter what it's in, a lawnmower or a Merlin. That bit of info comes from the studies done in WWll by both the Germans and the British. Their findings were almost exactly the same. (I know this from seeing the microfilm prints at Langly of WWll documentation.) Then they applied it to their fighter planes. That gentelmen was the first use of nitrous in an engine.

sweat deal, next Houston meet you'll have to show it off. In fact, you may want to add your location to your profile, so if their are other Houston/Texas folks interested in nitrous, you guys can get together.

The car looks even better in person than in the pics, and Tracer takes some damn good pics.

If you can find a holysh!t-o-meter I'd definitely recommend installing one.

Bottle pressure gauge and bottle temperature gauge.

It is important to keep the nitrous bottle within a certain temperature range. Many people have an electric bottle warmer in the event it is too cold. If the bottle is too cold, your pressure will be too low. The reverse is true if it gets too hot. You don't want it sitting out in direct sunlight in the heat though. Too much pressure is a time bomb waiting to go off. If your bottle is at the right temperature but your pressure is low, you know the tank is running out.
