Nitrous Research has been going on like Mad around here....
Seems there are a Bazillion systems to chose from and a Hundred ways to set
it up and run it... I am sure that Most work...
We are using the Nitrous to Aid the Motor in getting to the right RPM in 3rd
gear and then we are going to spray all of forth gear. ... This is our basic
thoughts on the subject.... This whole Kit isn't going to be capable of more
then 300hp... we currently don't have the Blocks that will stand it..... our
thoughts up front are to actually use less then 150 hp kit.... Just a bit of
a boost to an already strong Motor...
