Been there buddy. Our bike stock went
157, after I got it nitrous ready I could only pull
130 max. So there I was dealing with the pseudo
dilemma, how slow do I want to start from, normally
aspirated? ie from stock I only needed 33 mph boost
to net 200mph, then after making the motor N20 enhanced
I needed 70mph boost, wondering which way is smartest,
ie nitrous is a brutal way to make power, so do I really want
to force myself to make higher percentage of my power from
n2o
it has been alot of fun coming up with my own answer
I can tell you this though, the nitrous setup that netted
x amount of mph on the non nitrous optimized motor, netted
"much" more mph on the "nitrous" motor
